Chelsea have released a retro shirt as part of their 2019/2020 FA Cup campaign.
The Blues are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the FA Cup they won in 1970.
And they have put out a shirt that commemorates that milestone, which fans can now buy.
The club released some details about the design on their website, along with pictures on social media.
The description for the new jersey reads:
“Having drawn against Leeds United in the 1970 FA Cup final's first match, for what proved to be a successful replay Chelsea adopted yellow socks and yellow trim on the blue shorts, a change from our traditional white socks and trim in order to avoid colour clashes with the opposition. To complete the look we adopted a golden lion badge to be in keeping with the rest of the trim detail.
“Paying tribute to this moment from the rich heritage of the club, this crest from 1970 final replay has been brought back with this commemorative kit, replicated through a modern silicone execution. The jersey itself is royal blue throughout, while yellow comes through with the shorts trim, badge, socks and even the players' numbers – matching the colourway of the original."
