Chelsea 25-26 120th Anniversary Home Kit Edition Released

Chelsea celebrated its founding in March 1905 by launching an exclusive 120th Anniversary Edition of their home kit. To commemorate the year, just 1,905 shirts were produced—each individually numbered and featuring a gold-embroidered crest inscribed with “1905–2025” and “120 Years” around the traditional badge. These collector’s items are presented in special royal blue box packaging and include a numbered patch certifying its place in the limited sequence

The design of the anniversary shirt is rooted in Chelsea’s West London identity. The kit retains the club’s iconic Rush Blue base color, while incorporating a textured clash-print graphic that draws inspiration from the architectural details of local landmarks like the Chelsea Old Town Hall and other King’s Road facades. Trims in white and red nod to the club’s heritage, with a specially adapted club crest that blends seamlessly into the aesthetic theme

To launch the shirt, Chelsea produced a creative promotional video starring club players like Cole Palmer, Reece and Lauren James, alongside Chelsea-supporting celebrity Suggs from Madness, performing “Our House” as a tour of West London unfolds in a taxi ride through the area surrounding Stamford Bridge. The campaign celebrates the club’s deep connection to London culture and identity, positioning the kit as more than sportswear—a symbol of place and pride.

From a performance standpoint, the anniversary kit maintains the same Nike Dri-FIT ADV technology found in the regular 2025–26 home shirt range—moisture-wicking fabric engineered with open-hole ventilation zones and sleek athletic tailoring that looks sharp on and off the pitch

Overall, the 120th Anniversary Home Kit represents a thoughtful blend of club heritage, architectural storytelling, and limited-edition collectability. With just 1,905 units available worldwide, it's a rare piece of Chelsea history that offers fans both style and legacy in one special package
