Partnering with Nike for the eighth consecutive season, the London club unveiled a design that features angular patterns woven into the fabric, a patchwork inspired by nearby buildings like the Chelsea Old Town Hall, Sports Illustrated reports.
According to Football London, the new home kit also includes red-and-white trim details that pay homage to colour schemes worn by the club in the 1980s and 90s.
