2. Manchester City (Home): A fresh take celebrating club history, featuring a smooth color gradient transitioning from sky blue down to clean white.

3. Newcastle United (Away): Incorporates retro 1990s throwback elements with classic navy and burgundy horizontal hoops.

4. Liverpool (Away): Brings back a classic yellow base shade complemented by deep night navy and white detailing.

5. Tottenham Hotspur (Third): Embraces mid-2000s nostalgic retro aesthetic with off-center badges and bold geometric patterning.

Chelsea's shirt sponsorship saga has been one of the most followed commercial stories in European football:

The 2025/26 Sponsor: Chelsea finalized a multi-year deal with Swedish Industrial AI company IFS as their official front-of-shirt sponsor.

Details: The IFS logo featured on both the men’s and women’s match shirts through the second half of the season.

Long-Term Plan: From the 2026/27 cycle onward, IFS transitions into Chelsea's global technology partner, allowing the Blues to negotiate a new dedicated front-of-shirt primary partner while retaining IFS on a lucrative commercial package.
