Fresh images have emerged of what could be Chelsea’s away kit for the 2023/24 season with a stunning Nike design, Kieran Horn writes for Football London. Details over what will be the Blues home and away kits this season are yet to be confirmed as uncertainty surrounding who will be the main shirt sponsors rumbles on following the deal with Three expiring on June 30.
The news caused quite the fan backlash with the ban on gambling companies having sponsorship deals with English teams set to commence from the end of the 2025/26 season.
Nonetheless, the decision looks to have already been made which will see Stake, who have also sponsored Everton and Watford, displayed across the Chelsea shirts in fancy writing for the next campaign.
How the shirts will look or be designed is currently unknown but Chelsea supporters may have been handed a glimpse of their away kit. As revealed by Footy Headlines, the Blues away kit will have a retro feel as the colours are inspired by the away jersey from the 2002/03 season.
