Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that Nike will bring back green for Chelsea Football Club in the 2027-2028 season, ending a 16-season absence of the color on the pitch.

Chelsea 27-28 Away/Third Kit
Check out the colors of Nike's Chelsea FC 27-28 away/third jersey below.
The new Nike Chelsea 27-28 away / third shirt will be predominantly 'Electric Green'. Nike will pair this striking, vibrant green base with Chelsea’s classic 'Deep Royal Blue' as the primary secondary color.
Deep Royal Blue is set to be used for the club crest, Swoosh, sponsor applications, collar trims, sleeve cuffs, and any tonal graphic elements.
The release will mark the first time Chelsea have worn a green kit since the 2010-11 season, when Adidas launched a light green and navy third kit.
Throughout the club's history, green has been an exceptionally rare choice, appearing only sporadically on the jade away shirts of the late 1980s (1986-1989) and tracing back to the club's original "Eton blue" founding shirts in 1905.
The new Nike Chelsea Football Club 2027-2028 away/third kit is scheduled to be officially released in the summer of 2027.
