CHELSEA 2025-26 AWAY KIT- PLAYER VERSION

The jersey shown in the image is the Chelsea F.C. 2025/26 Match Third Men's Nike Dri-FIT ADV Total 90 Football Authentic Shirt. The term "player version" typically refers to an "authentic" jersey like this one, which is the same shirt worn by the professional players on the pitch. 

Player Version (Authentic) Jersey Information

Fit: Authentic jerseys have a slim, athletic, and tailored fit designed for performance. It is recommended to size up if you prefer a looser fit.

Technology: It features advanced Nike Dri-FIT ADV technology, which levels up sweat-wicking with advanced cooling and targeted zones of breathability to help keep you dry and comfortable during play.

Materials: These jerseys use lightweight, high-performance, and quick-drying fabrics (100% polyester) for optimal performance.

Details: The team crest and logos are typically heat-pressed to minimize weight and reduce drag, unlike the embroidered badges found on replica (fan version) jerseys. The design includes curving lines and asymmetric panels, a throwback to the iconic Total 90 collection of the early 2000s.

Price and Durability: Player versions are consistently more expensive than replicas due to their premium materials and construction. The heat-pressed details might require more careful handling (e.g., air drying) to avoid peeling compared to the more durable embroidered details on fan versions. 

This specific shirt is inspired by the colors of Chelsea's 2004/05 away kit. The product page in the image indicates it is currently sold out in that specific color.
