Chelsea Shirt Features

Chelsea shirts are typically released at a price of £39.99, with the goalkeeper jersey slightly higher. The price will go down throughout the season, in preparation for the new release. The home shirt is always blue. The away and third shirt strips have changed over the seasons and have included white, yellow, neon blue and black. The goalkeeper shirt will also change colour and has in the past been bright orange – a colour that apparently made Petr Cech look bigger and more commanding in goal. The shirts will feature the Chelsea club crest, the sponsor logo and kit supplier logo. The current sponsor is Samsung Mobile – a deal that will last until at least the 2012-13 season. Adidas, with their trademark three stripes, design and supply the kit. They took over from Umbro in 2006 and have released very stylish and modern shirts. Chelsea shirts are available in a very wide range of sizes, from newborn to eight XL (outsize) and everything in between.

Personalisation

Many diehard Chelsea fans will personalise their Chelsea shirt with either the name and number of their favourite player or their own name and number. Premier League and Champions League badges are also available to add to the sleeve. The most popular Chelsea player names to be added by fans are Frank Lampard, John Terry, Didier Drogba, Joe Cole, Petr Cech and Michael Essien. You can read a more detailed article, including player numbers here. Shirt personalisation will often cost around £5, but there are often offers from Kitbag or UKSoccerShop for free personalisation. Check their homepages or contact them to ask what they can do.

For Baby, child and for her

The most popular Chelsea shirt is the kids size. Baby kits (aged up to 18 months) and infant kits are also available. The infant and baby kits include shorts and socks. Once the young Chelsea supporter reaches the age of 14 then they will likely need the adult size. Chelsea have a great female following and so therefore provide Chelsea shirts designed specifically for women.

Fake Chelsea Shirts

You may have seen on your internet travels Chelsea shirts for amazingly cheap prices. Purchase these at your own risk and consider the fact that they may not be authentic. If they are not then they are unlikely to truly represent the real thing in terms of true colour and quality. Try to get as much information about the company as you can, for example can you give them a call or do they have a physical contact address (preferably in the UK)? Reputable online retailers such as Kitbag display their phone number on their homepage. We have written a more in-depth article on fake Chelsea shirts.

Signed Chelsea Shirts

If you are lucky enough to go to Stamford Bridge and get your shirt signed by your favourite Chelsea player then well done. However, not everyone will be fortunate to get the chance and even if they do, there is no guarantee that they will get their shirt signed. Also, you don’t really want to get your shirt signed that you want to still wear – the signature will disappear in the wash. Signed Chelsea shirts should come with a certificate of authenticity (CoA) and many will also feature a photograph of the player signing that same shirt, along with a date, time and place of signature. Signed Chelsea shirts can be expensive (over £100) but should be seen as a worthwhile investment. There are only so many shirts signed by Zola with guaranteed authenticity.

Chelsea Retro Shirts

Retro shirts have become extremely popular over recent years. Whatever year you want to go back to, whether it is because of fond memories, the club’s success or just because you liked the design, there is likely to be an appropriate retro shirt for you.
