Chelsea 97/99 Home

The Umbro Chelsea F.C. 1997–99 home shirt is one of the standout Chelsea designs of the late 1990s.

The shirt featured a royal blue base with white detailing, classic Umbro styling and, most importantly, the AutoGlasssponsor across the chest. The clean blue-and-white design captures the distinctive look of Chelsea shirts from the era.

It was worn during a period when Chelsea were becoming one of England’s most cosmopolitan sides, with stars including Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Di Matteo, Ruud Gullit, Dennis Wise, Frank Leboeuf and Gustavo Poyet.

The 1997–98 season was particularly special. Chelsea lifted the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, beating Stuttgart 1–0 in the final, and also won the League Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

Today, the 1997–99 Umbro AutoGlass home shirt is a genuine Chelsea retro classic — combining the royal blue, iconic AutoGlass sponsorship and the unforgettable Zola era.

More than just a shirt, it represents the moment Chelsea were establishing themselves as a major force in English and European football.
