Away kit

The return of the iconic yellow and black combination in Chelsea’s away threads last season had fans jumping for joy. It’s incredibly difficult to appease an entire generation of kit fanatics. Regardless, it’s not a stretch by any means to suggest this shirt went above and beyond the expectations that Chelsea supporters had for an away kit. I would even go as far as to say this was the most well-received and popular jersey that the Blues have produced since ditching Adidas for Nike before the 2017/18 season.

It’ll be unfortunate in the eyes of some that this campaign came and went without the away threads making more appearances. However, some aspects of the shirt are here to stay in the 2022/23 away top:

Nike usually keeps it relatively simple with Chelsea’s away uniforms. From the white/grey jersey in 2017/18 to last year’s yellow and black look, the kit maker rarely ever gets adventurous with the away threads. This trend will continue next season, but Nike has taken more of a risk than in years past with the aforementioned collar design from the home kit appearing front and center on the white away shirt. The horizontal lines present in last season’s yellow kit are visible here too, they just appear to be more of a navy blue than a black. This has been confirmed.

The complete uniform will be white in the shirt and shorts, the socks will be the same navy that is featured on the stripes. Similar to the 2021/22 away kit, the club’s iconic badge will also take on the secondary color of the shirt, appearing in an all-navy shade. The collar design used on the home kit will take on a more prominent role on the away top. The teal will take over as the majority color here as the design appears in white. The design won’t be around the collar on this shirt though, it’ll coincide with the placement of the horizontal lines.

The henley-style won’t make an appearance on the away uniform, that’s a feature exclusive to the home kit. The collar on the away threads will also be normal, taking on the white of the shirt.
