Leaked: Chelsea 25-26 Home Kit to Feature Red + Return of Lion Crest

Update: Thanks to kit insider Gol de Sergio, we now know the exact colors of Chelsea Football Club's 2025-26 home strip. This new update brings fresh details about the design, as well as the return of a beloved crest element. Here’s everything we’ve gathered so far about the Chelsea 25-26 home kit.

The Nike Chelsea FC 2025-26 home shirt maintains the club’s traditional blue base but introduces a bold combination of white and red details. The primary color of the kit is officially labeled as 'Rush Blue,' accompanied by 'Speed Red' and 'White' for accenting. This addition of red marks a significant and daring departure from the usual blue-and-white palette, adding a dynamic contrast that is sure to stand out on the pitch.

One of the most exciting elements of the new kit is the return of the Lion crest, reminiscent of the design used in Chelsea's 2024-25 third kit. The crest will feature a bold red shadow behind the iconic lion, giving the design a fresh and modern edge while paying homage to the club’s history. Meanwhile, the Swoosh, Nike’s signature logo, will appear in white, avoiding the red detailing seen in previous concept designs, according to Gol de Sergio.

With these striking elements in place, the 2025-26 home kit promises to be a unique and vibrant addition to Chelsea’s long-standing tradition of distinctive jerseys. The combination of colors, especially the bold use of red, and the return of the Lion crest will likely make this kit one of the most talked-about in Chelsea's recent history.
