Chelsea

Well, after two months, I've finally found the time to get another football shirt made. Only one this time however. This time, it's the club I support, Chelsea. Chelsea Football Club was founded in 1905, and ever since then have played all their home games at Stamford Bridge. They are also the current Premier League Champions and FA Cup, having won 4 and 6 titles in all respectively. Nicknamed 'the Blues', due to that being the primary club colour, they were also formerly nicknamed 'the Pensioners' in honour of Chelsea War Veterans.

AWAY
My idea for this one came from the 2003-4 Away. I found that it was also very popular among members of a Chelsea forum I'm on, so it seem liked the perfect idea to do. This white kit features the two bars down the middle, one navy and the other royal blue. The trim, including Adidas' 'three stripes' on the sleeves, are mainly blue. It's very unlikely that this kit will ever be used in reality in the near future, or at least while Adidas are sponsors due to the fact it was based on Umbro, and couldn't even be classed as 'retro' as it is relatively recent.
