Chelsea have released their new away kit for the upcoming 2019-20 campaign.
The kit is designed to celebrate London‘s fashion history as it is inspired by the Mod culture that thrived near Stamford Bridge in the 1960s.
The strip has a crisp white polo jersey complete with a button-down collar.
The collar is trimmed with red and blue stripes and is fastened in the centre by two buttons.
Each of the two buttons are inscribed with the phrase ‘the Pride of London’.
‘The kit is really beautiful, with so many nice touches,’ says Chelsea Women forward Fran Kirby.
‘I know a little bit about Mod fashion and culture and you can see its influence on the kit.
‘I think it’s a shirt you could wear to the game, but also in any situation, and I’m sure the fans will like it.’
The jersey’s sleeves are also trimmed with red and blue, while the head-to-toe look is completed by white shorts and Chelsea blue socks.
The socks boast a stripe – white, red, white – midway up the calf, which evokes memories of the famous Mod target symbol.
