Chelsea to Showcase New Nike Third Kit in Premier League Clash Against West Ham
Chelsea FC's new t90 Third Kit

Chelsea Football Club will unveil their striking new Nike third kit for the 2025/26 season during tonight's Premier League match against West Ham United at the London Stadium.

The kit, inspired by the iconic 2004/05 season when Chelsea clinched their first-ever Premier League title, features a bold black and silver design with royal blue accents. This aesthetic pays homage to the legendary era of players like John Terry and Frank Lampard, who famously celebrated the historic title win at Blackburn.

The design also incorporates a modern twist, with a west London night scene as the backdrop, blending the club's rich history with its ambitious future. Fans can expect to see new signings like Estevao Willian, Joao Pedro, and Jamie Gittens donning the kit, alongside stars like Ellie Carpenter and Naomi Girma, as Chelsea aim to make a statement on and off the pitch.

Match Preview: West Ham vs. Chelsea

Chelsea head into tonight’s London derby under the guidance of manager Enzo Maresca, who is eager to kickstart the 2025/26 Premier League campaign with a strong performance. The Blues are coming off a successful run, having secured the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Conference League titles earlier this year, with their women’s team also clinching a domestic Treble.

However, with a lacklustre performance against Crystal Palace highlighting issues in attack and defense. Maresca will be without key players, including Levi Colwill, sidelined by an ACL injury, and potentially others due to ongoing transfer activity and minor injuries. Young talent Estevao Willian is pushing for his full Premier League debut, which could add flair to Chelsea’s lineup.

West Ham, managed by Graham Potter, are looking to capitalize on home advantage at the London Stadium. The Hammers have shown resilience this season but face a tough challenge against a Chelsea side brimming with new talent. West Ham’s attack will rely on players like Jarrod Bowen, while their defense must contend with Chelsea’s dynamic forwards. The match promises to be a tactical battle, with Chelsea’s high-pressing style under Maresca clashing with West Ham’s structured approach.
