2016-17 Chelsea Home Shirt, one of the standout Adidas designs from the club’s modern era, finished in royal blue with a tonal lion pattern worked across the body. White detailing, a sharp V-neck collar and the Yokohama Tyres sponsor complete the look, while the repeated Chelsea lion graphic gives the shirt an unmistakable identity beyond the standard home template.
The Adidas three stripes run down the sides rather than across the shoulders, leaving the upper body clean and putting more emphasis on the all-over lion design. The club crest, Adidas branding and sponsor provide the main contrast against the blue base, creating a strong mid-2010s Chelsea look with a clear nod to the patterned shirts of the 1990s.
Released for Antonio Conte’s first season at Stamford Bridge, the shirt became tied to Chelsea’s 2016-17 Premier League title-winning campaign. Eden Hazard, Diego Costa, N’Golo Kanté and Cesc Fàbregas featured in a side that won 30 league matches and lifted the title, making this one of the defining shirts from Chelsea’s final Adidas season.
