Chelsea Football Club has revealed their eye-catching 2024-25 away kit during their pre-season tour of the United States. The announcement video, filmed in San Jose, California, showcased the new white shirt, adorned with striking blue and orange trim.
The club described the design as a continuation of the "blue flame" theme from this season's home kit. The orange accent colour, they explained, symbolises fire, representing the shared ambition, burning passion, and unwavering determination of the entire club to achieve success both on and off the pitch.
The shirt and shorts are crafted from a woven fabric in a lighter shade of orange, known as "guava ice", giving the kit a clean, youthful, and contemporary feel. The "team orange" and "rush blue" trims add a dash of contrast and a clear link to the home kit, drawing on the tones that have become synonymous with Chelsea kits throughout history.
Adding a touch of bespoke elegance, the kit features a custom crest that "enhances the orange tones from the club's past kits in a modern way". This subtle detail serves as a nod to Chelsea's rich history while embracing a contemporary aesthetic.
The unveiling of the new away kit has been met with a mixture of excitement and anticipation from Chelsea fans. The bold colour scheme and modern design have sparked discussions amongst supporters, with many praising the club for its innovative approach to kit design. The new kit is expected to make its debut on the pitch during the upcoming pre-season friendly matches.
