Nike have launched the Chelsea 2018/19 home shirt with a design that takes inspiration from the much-loved jerseys of the 1980s and 90s. It's a touch more busy than some of Nike's recent replica displays, and that ain't a bad thing in our book.

Se to be worn in Chelsea's final game of the 2017/18 Premier League season away to Newcastle United on Sunday, the new home strip for the 18/19 campaign features pops of red and white against Chelsea's famous blue. After years of plain blue templates at least Chelsea fans have something different to embrace.

The horizontal red and white lines are the obvious standout feature on the new Chelsea 18/19 home shirt, but overall it's smart aesthetic on that stunning Nike VaporKnit base. Blue shorts and white socks, brightened by a horizontal red and blue trim at the knee, complete the kit.
