Chelsea new kit 23/24: Predicted release date

Chelsea and Nike continue their partnership in the 2023/24 Premier League season with a seventh new kit. Here is everything we know about their new home, away and third shirts.

The American sportswear manufacturer replaced Adidas as Chelsea’s kit partner in 2017. It agreed to a record-breaking 15-year deal worth with the Stamford Bridge natives in 2016. The Blues’ deal with Nike sees the west London outfit earn around £60m per season.

When does the new Chelsea 23/24 home kit come out?

The Blues and Nike released the new Chelsea 23/24 season home kit on July 10, 2023. Nike created a throwback strip for the Stamford Bridge outfit that pays homage to their 1997/98 campaign. It features nods to the west Londoners’ UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title that season.

Chelsea will take to the field in 23/24 wearing the seventh kit from their contract with Nike. The strip takes inspiration from the 97/98 campaign with additional golden accents. It also features an iridescent crest along with Chelsea’s motto ‘Pride of London’ on the inside, too.

Unlike their new home kit, Chelsea and Nike are yet to announce when the Blues’ away shirt for the 23/24 season will be released. The Blues and American sportswear manufacturer are likely to wait at least a few weeks following the release of the home shirt before unveiling it.

Chelsea only unveiled their away shirt for the 22/23 season on August 9 in 2022. It fell on the same day as the Blues played in the kit at Everton to open the 22/23 Premier League campaign. Under Thomas Tuchel, the west London club beat Frank Lampard’s Toffees 1-0.

TBR Football’s prediction is that Nike and Chelsea are unlikely to leave it as late in 2023 to announce when their new away kit will come out. But the Blues only unveiled the away shirt for the 21/22 season on July 29 in 2021. So, fans could still have a little while to wait.

Nike will design three new kits for Chelsea once again for use in the 23/24 season with a third shirt. The American manufacturer has created a third kit for the Blues for each year of their partnership so far. Chelsea have also had a third kit in every season since 01/02.

But like with Chelsea’s new home kit and away kit, Nike and the west Londoners are yet to announce when the third kit will come out. The Blues also did not confirm their third strip for the 22/23 season until October 6 in 2022. So, fans may still face a rather long wait.

Delays ensured Chelsea and Nike could not confirm when the Blues’ third shirt for the 22/23 season would come out. But the club unveiled their third kits for the 20/21 and 21/22 terms much earlier. It came out on September 7 in 2020 and August 26 in 2021.
