Yellow kits have been a part of Chelsea’s history, and Nike
have reintroduced them for the upcoming season.
First introduced back in the 1960s, yellow shirts have been
a regular part of Chelsea's history and have regularly been brought back in the
past few years. In the Roman Abramovich era, we've seen the Blues become the
Yellows in 2008, 2013, 2014 and as recently as 2018.
Pairing the throwback kit with black represents Chelsea’s
new era full of youthful energy.
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount believes that the young
players at the club are raring to create special moments in the new kit, which
reminds them of the ones their heroes wore throughout the club’s history.
Mount said: “When you look over the years, you always
remember the yellow kits on our heroes that made an impact.
“As players, I feel we can do the same and create even more
special moments in this new kit!”
The away shirt for the 21/22 season is completed with black
shorts, yellow socks with a black stripe. Furthermore, a ‘Pride of London’ logo
has been embedded inside the shirt.
Meanwhile, as a part of Nike’s Move to Zero initiative, the
kits are made from recycled polyester that reduces carbon emissions by up to
30%.
Even the replica jerseys for the fans are made with 100%
recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles.
The 2021/22 Chelsea FC Away kit will be available to Nike
Members from July 29 from nike.com and on full retail from August 5.
