Nike's proposed designs for Chelsea's home, away and third kits for the upcoming season have generated a mixed response from the Blues faithful. Over the years, the West London side have sported an array of different coloured jerseys, with some garnering more approval than others.

Since its inception in 1905, Chelsea have consistently sported a Royal blue home shirt. The club also predominantly wore white shorts until 1964, when they decided to match their bottoms with their tops.

When it comes to Chelsea's away kit, the club has experimented with a wide range of colours from red to white, yellow to turquoise, orange to grey, black to green, and even light blue in the 2018/19 season. In fact, over the past five years, Chelsea have worn four different coloured away shirts.

This season, the away kit was 'pitch blue and soar shades'; white the previous term; yellow in the 2021/22 season; light blue in the 2020/21 season; and white, with a collar, in the 2019/20 season. Not to mention the broad spectrum of bold third strips, goalkeeper tops, training and matchday gear the club has never shied away from experimenting with their colour palette.

With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at the supposedly leaked designs for next season's shirts, courtesy of FootyHeadlines, who have gained a reputation for 'leaking' jerseys over the years. The home strip remains Royal blue but now features a white foamy, ocean wave design.

The Nike logo and Chelsea emblem are highlighted in a 'Team Orange' hue, along with the sleeve trimmings. As per FootyHeadlines, the away kit is primarily light beige, featuring a 'Team Orange' crest and a Royal blue Nike tick.

The shorts are reported to match the shirt, complemented by contrasting Royal blue socks. Until the official unveiling of next season's kits, the authenticity of the leak remains uncertain.

However, the leaked design has already sparked a debate among Chelsea fans, with some expressing their love for it while others disagree.

If the leak turns out to be accurate, the third kit could potentially win over some Blues fans. Footy Headlines suggests that the shirt might feature a black and dark grey camo pattern, adorned with a pink and yellow inverted Nike swoosh.

The u-neck collar mirrors the same vibrant yellow, sandwiching a bright pink.

Instead of the traditional Chelsea crest, Nike is said to have used the standalone lion from the badge, also rendered in bright pink. For comparison, it bears a striking resemblance to the 2017/18 third shirt.
