🔵KEEP CLUB'S CULTURE, KEEP THE SHIRTS BLANK!
Another season, another scramble for an identity on the front of Chelsea’s shirt.
After years of cycling through stopgap deals, blank spaces, Infinite Athlete, and IFS, the club has rolled out crypto firm Circle and its USDC branding as the latest main partner.

The era of digital evolution has arrived, permanently separating West London football culture from its historic roots.
