The Chelsea 2026/27 away jersey is a bold, sophisticated design that combines a deep black base with striking Midwest Gold details. Nike describes the kit as a celebration of Chelsea’s own “Italian Renaissance,” drawing inspiration from the club’s transformative 1990s era.

* Main colour: A predominantly black shirt, giving the jersey a sleek and powerful appearance.
* Gold detailing: Luxurious Midwest Gold is used throughout the design, including the Nike Swoosh, Chelsea’s lion emblem, collar, sleeve cuffs and fine piping.
* Collar: The rounded collar features distinctive gold graphic detailing, with a small “CFC” detail visible at the back of the neck.
* Lion emblem: Instead of a traditional full-colour Chelsea crest, the shirt prominently features a gold ceremonial/rampant lion, creating a clean and premium look.
* Sleeves: The black sleeves are finished with eye-catching gold patterned cuffs, while fine gold piping runs along the shoulder area.
* Body design: The black fabric has a subtle vertical textured pattern, adding depth and a technical appearance without making the shirt look overly busy.
* Side detailing: Slim gold lines run down the sides of the shirt, complementing the shoulder and sleeve accents.
* Performance: The authentic Match version uses Nike Aero-FIT technology, designed to improve airflow and help keep players cool and comfortable during matches.
* Material: The jersey is made from 100% polyester, with Nike listing the product as made with recycled polyester fibres.
