When Frank Lampard's Chelsea team will wear brand new Nike 2020/21 away kit for the first time

Chelsea have this morning unveiled their brand new Nike away kit for the 2020/21 campaign.

The new shirt, which is in a turquoise blue, is the second strip that Chelsea have announced ahead of next season.

However, Chelsea's supporters will not have to wait until next season to see their heroes don it for the very time.

Following Saturday's comfortable 3-0 home win over Watford, which kept Chelsea in pole position to secure the final top-four spot in the Premier League this season, Frank Lampard's side travel to Crystal Palace this evening.

The contest at Selhurst Park, which gets underway at 6pm, will see the Blues' players wear the new strip for the very first time.

Chelsea's away kit this season, of course, has been white with a smart blue and red trim. Next season's strip has been inspired by a classic tailored aesthetic but filtered through a modern street lens and colour palette.

The shirt is described as being an 'Arctic blue' colour, whilst the shorts are also the same. The socks are in a dark blue tone.

‘The Pride of London’, runs down the sides of the torso, with a Swoosh and a Chelsea lion placed midway up the shin.

On the new away strip, midfielder Mason Mount told the club's website: "The colours and pattern of the away work really well.. It looks great and it’s also a nice contrast to the home kit. Hopefully the fans will like it as well and we can push on and make them proud."

The new kit also sees a change in sponsor from this season, as mobile network company Three have taken over from Yokohama Tyres, just as they have on the new home strip.
