Description
Stylish, bold, and brimming with late-‘90s swagger, the 1997-99 Chelsea home shirt marked the arrival of a new, ambitious Chelsea under Ruud Gullit and later Gianluca Vialli. Worn during a period of continental flair and domestic success, this shirt is remembered for lifting the 1998 League Cup, UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, and UEFA Super Cup, as Gianfranco Zola and company dazzled fans across Europe and ushered in a new era at Stamford Bridge.
Produced by Umbro, the shirt features a rich cobalt blue with striking yellow trim, crisp white panels, a raised club crest, and the nostalgic Autoglass sponsor - a combination that screams ‘90s football culture. The standout detail is the fold-over collar with button fastening, adding a classic touch to a bold, modern kit. This was the era of Zola’s genius, Dennis Wise’s leadership, and the continental influence of stars like Roberto Di Matteo, Dan Petrescu, and Gustavo Poyet. Whether you remember Zola’s magical winner in the Cup Winners’ Cup Final or the historic Super Cup victory over Real Madrid, this shirt captures the spark that ignited Chelsea’s rise to the European elite - full of flair, grit, and unmistakable style.
