Best Chelsea FC training kit designs: popular colors and fan favorites

Alright, let me walk you through how I tackled this Chelsea training kit design deep dive today. Seriously got sucked into it way deeper than I planned.

Starting with the Messy Fan Stuff

First thing I did? Went straight to the Chelsea fan groups and forums. Just started reading, like, everything. Scrolled forever honestly. Goal was simple: figure out what folks actually loved or really hated about past training gear. Not the official shirts, just the stuff they wear for practice.

Best Chelsea FC training kit designs: popular colors and fan favorites

I saw tons of pics – old gear, leaks, rumours, all that jazz. Made a giant, chaotic list:

  • Colors popping up all the time? Royal Blue (obviously!), White, a bit of Black.
  • People going nuts over the really bold, solid blocks of color, especially that classic pure Chelsea blue.
  • Others digging subtle pattern mixes or retro vibes sometimes.
  • Lots of moaning about designs feeling cheap, muddy colors (like some washed-out greys), or just plain boring.

Got it. Fans want that strong Chelsea identity, quality that feels good, colors that pop.

Time to Actually Draw Some Stuff

Armed with that fan chatter, I grabbed my tablet and opened the design app. Honestly felt a bit rusty. Started just throwing color combos onto basic templates. Was mostly:

  • Playing Blues: Pure Royal Blue top? Obvious winner. But what with it? Tried crisp white shorts, felt classic. Also tried all blue, solid… bit too intense? Tried blue top, grey shorts – meh, felt off, remembered that fan grumbling.
  • Black & White Checks: Kept seeing this hinted at for future kits, so mocked up some training tops. A simple black top with small white pinstripes? Clean. Flipped it to white with black pinstripes – surprisingly sharp! Avoided big loud checks for training gear though, felt wrong.
  • Got Bold with Accents: Okay, what about using white as the main top with just hits of royal blue? Like strong blue trims on the collar and sleeves. Yeah, that worked well! Fresh but undeniably Chelsea.
  • The Red Accent Trap: Saw some old stuff using red flashes. Thought “Hmm, maybe?” Tried a tiny bit… nope. Instantly looked wrong, like another team crashed the party. Scrapped that fast.

Made a ton of drafts. Some looked fantastic on screen. Others… straight to the digital bin.

Bringing the Designs “Home”

This is where it got real. Didn’t want it to look fake. Slapped my favorite mockups onto player models training – think chilly Cobham morning vibes. How would this blue shade look in real daylight? Would that white trim stay clean? Made sure the tech fabric textures looked realistic.

The pure royal blue kit always looked solid. The white with blue trim felt premium and cool. The subtle pinstriped options looked professional. Kept asking myself: “Would fans spot this as quality? Does it scream Chelsea?”

What Stuck (and What Didn’t)

By the end of this whole mess, a few clear winners stood out based on my play and what fans seem to yell about:

  • Hero Color: That proper, rich, royal Chelsea blue dominates. Using it as the main color for tops, especially.
  • Clean Whites: White shorts with a blue top is like the bread and butter combo. Always looks right.
  • Simple Accents: Blue trims on white kits work brilliantly. Don’t overcomplicate it.
  • Quality Vibes: Designs that look simple, well-made, and durable win over fussy patterns or cheap-looking blends.

It’s all about keeping that strong Chelsea core feeling – powerful, clear colors, good quality, nothing wishy-washy. Fans spot a fake or a weak design a mile off.

Honestly, this rabbit hole took hours. Spilled coffee on my notes. Totally worth it though. Seeing those classic colors just work every time? Pretty satisfying.
