Retro Chelsea Shirts

History of Retro Chelsea Shirts

The history of the Chelsea FC began in 1904, when Gus Mears and his brother bought a sports stadium known as Stamford Bridge. The Fulham Football Club was considered the name of the club they created for their stadium, but there was already a team with that name. Finally, they decided to give it the name of one of the neighbours: Chelsea.

Chelsea's Recent Success

Chelsea have won two Champions League trophies, one in 2012 against Bayern Munich (which was won on penalties with club legend Didier Drogba scoring the winning penalty) and one against Manchester City in 2021. The most recent trophy was a competitive final, with one goal in the game. N'golo Kante had an exceptional game, with Havertz on the scoresheet. Wearing a typical all blue Chelsea football kit, Tomas Tuchel's squad fully deserved their most recent Champions League Trophy.

In terms of English Premier League success, Roman Abramovich's takeover has brought the club 5 trophies, including a few historic seasons under Jose Mourinho. Currently the team are always in the top four position, and their success remains strong.
