Chelsea third kit 2019-20: Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount launch new old school black strip

Rising stars Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount have launched Chelsea's new ’90s-inspired third kit.

The predominantly black jersey features an orange trim and resembles the away strip worn by the club between 1994 and 96.

The retro shirt includes Nike's Futura logo and an old school collar which incorporates a strap bearing the club's name.

“You can see the ’90s influence in fashion at the moment, and I think the kit will appeal to pretty much everyone,” said Blues midfielder Mount.

“Younger fans will like that it has a streetwear vibe and older fans will appreciate the sentimentality, remembering club legends who donned the famous jersey and their memories of going to games.”

Chelsea will debut the new kit in the Champions League away trip to Lille on October 2.

The Blues begin their Europea campaign at home against Valencia in September before trips to Lille and Ajax. They then host Ajax before visiting Valencia and round off their group schedule with the visit of Lille in December.
