Chelsea Football Club is set to wear their new retro-inspired third kit during an upcoming match against Everton. The design, which honors the club's classic away kit from 1992 to 1994, features a white shirt with blue trim on the sleeves and neckline and red pinstripes. The men’s team will pair this shirt with all-white shorts, while the women’s teams will wear blue shorts. Additionally, Chelsea has replaced their modern lion crest with an older version featuring block letters 'CFC' and a sitting lion from 1986 to 2005. The retro kit also includes sponsor branding from USDC by Circle instead of the old Amiga Commodore logo. This new design was first seen in action during Chelsea’s Under-21s match against Wycombe Wanderers, where they lost 2-1 in the EFL Trophy last month.
