The third kit of Chelsea for the season 2024-25 has been leaked through online. The yet to be released kit features a black and grey shade throughout.
The Blues or should I call it the Blacks as per the leaked kit design. The jersey features a black and grey shade design with some pink and yellow horizontal stripes on the collar. Chelsea already released their home and away kits earlier this month. Yet there is no official date for the release of this kit but we can expect it towards the end of this month. Nike deal with Chelsea the largest commercial dal the club has signed till date. More on this..
THE LEAKED KIT DESIGN
The new leaked kit according to the website The Kitman UK features black and grey shades predominantly. The grey shades are provided as a sort of camouflage design. The kit is designed in a round neck fashion like all the other Chelsea kits this season. There is a yellow and pink stripe on the collars which are the secondary and teritiary colours. The horizontal pink and yellow stripes on the collar are designed with pink is the middle of two yellow stripes. The sleve cuffs also has a yellow stripe.
Unlike the home and away kit, Nike have went with the ‘Rampant Lion’ symbol on the left chest which is in pink colour. Chelsea third kit design represents the modern day kit designers who try to go along with the current fashion trends. The vertical positioning of the Nike swoosh logo in pink colour and a small swoosh logo in yellow along with the bigger one. These are some new changes they have bought to the design. The use of dark colour as predominant one and very contrasting coulours as secondary and teritiary shows the contemporaneosness of the design.
This black coloured camouflaged kit with accents of pink and yellow actually goes with light coloured baggy pants and shows how far sighted and business oriented the kit designs have turned into. Along with Chelsea Nike also provide kits for major European sides like Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, FC Barcelona etc.
NIKE DEAL
Chelsea signed a record breaking deal with Nike in 2016. The deal that came alive in 2017-18 which spans 15 years. The deal is worth upto 60 million pounds an years. Which rounds up to 900 million pounds over the entire period. This deal replaced the previous 30 million pounds an year agreement with Adidas. Nike deal will be valid until the 2031-32 season. The American manufacturers provides kits for all Chelsea teams, the men’s, women’s and youth teams from different age groups.
The deal also includes a range of lifestyle attires foe the club’s global fanbase. It was also confirmed by the then Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia that the deal will be amajor boost in supporting the club’s growth. Particularly in the South East Asia and North America. The exposure Adidas gives mostly comprises to Europe but Nike as a global etity had surely helped them grow. It willreally be explicit when Chelsea plays in USA for the pre-season. The global fanbase the club has build around the worth is partly due to the collaboration with Nike.
RELEASE DATE
The PL giants had released their home and away kits earlir this month. The home kit featured a the traditional blue with shades of white. The design actually feels like some white paint spread into the blue and haven’t mixed properly with a shiny crest and white Nike logo. The away kit is pure white with red and blue stripes on the shoulders and cuff stripes.
So the release dates haven’t been out yet for the third kit, nor they have hinted at anything about the kit. bt we do expect it to be released sometime towards the end of this month or at the begining of next month.
