You may have seen on your internet travels Chelsea shirts for amazingly cheap prices (such as the current season shirt for just £6.99). 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 and within weeks you will have a shirt that looks nothing like the real thing.
When purchasing a Chelsea shirt online 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.
Use internet search engines to do a search on the company/website and read customer reviews. Take note of the comments closely and consider whether they could have been posted by the company selling the fake shirts themselves.
Look out for elements of the shirt that indicate that it is an official team product. For example, the current Chelsea shirt has the following security badge.
The following retailers are known to sell the genuine article and are reputable online retailers.
If you do encounter a site that are selling fake Chelsea shirts, contact us and we will investigate and add the site to this page to warn others.

Shop safe.
