Chelsea have released their new third kit for the 2026/27 season, completing the Premier League club’s trio of lion-themed Nike strips.
The Blues announced the launch on their official website on Saturday. The club said the kit was on sale and was designed for those who dare to stand apart. It follows the home shirt’s “Can’t Tame Us” message and the dark away design, with Chelsea calling the third kit “The Rare Breed.”
Chelsea said that in mythology, the white lion is the sacred and rare keeper of the land—not separate from the pride, but one that moves on its own terms when it matters.
White dominates the new shirt, which features a geometric shadow pattern, blue trim on the neck and sleeves, and vertical red pinstripes. The design recalls popular away and third strips from the 1980s and 1990s, and the top includes a retro Chelsea crest.
For the men’s kit, the shorts are white, while the women’s version has blue shorts. White socks with blue hoops complete the look for both.
Chelsea added that while the home and away kits are now available with USDC by Circle branding, the third kit also features the club’s new front-of-shirt partner.
