WHY IS THREE STILL SPONSORING CHELSEA.

The mobile phone company Three is expected to remain as Chelsea's main shirt sponsor next season, according to reports.


You could recall back in March, , Three confirmed their temporary suspension of the club and asked for their logo to be removed from kits following the sanctioning of former owner Roman Abramovich for his links to the Russian-state and Vladimir Putin as a result of the war in Ukraine.

“In light of the government’s recently announced sanctions, we have requested Chelsea Football Club temporarily suspend our sponsorship of the club, including the removal of our brand from shirts and around the stadium until further notice," the statement read from Three.

“We recognise that this decision will impact the many Chelsea fans who follow their team passionately. However, we feel that given the circumstances, and the government sanction that is in place, it is the right thing to do.”

However, It wasn't possible for their logo to be removed from kits, however their branding around Stamford Bridge and other promotional areas was removed where possible.

Now the club has been taken over by the consortium led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, sponsor plans are already underway with the Amber Group being the first confirmed new partner, pre-agreed earlier this year, to replace Hyundai as the sleeve sponsor.

But there has been uncertainty over Three's position ahead of the 2022/23 kit launch which is expected in July. However, it is now being reported that they will remain for at least another season. Three's deal with Chelsea is believed to be worth around £40m a year.

Chelsea's three kits - home, away and third - have all been pictured ahead of launch with the design and colour scheme revealed.

The home strip is all blue with a white/turquoise neckline.

The away strip is mainly white with four teal hoops, with the official colour scheme noted as white, chlorine blue and college navy.

The third strip combines a sesame gold base with black and orange.

  HISTORY OF CHELSEA FC’S JERSEY COLOR.     ‘Blue is the color, football is the game’ goes the song the Chelsea squad and fans. Ever since its humble beginnings in 1904, when London businessman Gus Mears founded the club after failing to convince Fulham to take up residence in his newly-purchased Stamford Bridge athletics stadium, Chelsea have worn blue. However, the blue jerseys the fledgling team initially turned out in were quite different from the kind of shirts worn by the likes of Eden Hazard, Diego Costa and David Luiz today. Not least because of the advances in the technology of sporting attire and the prevalence of sponsor logos on modern football tops, but also because the blue Chelsea originally turned out in was much paler, lighter, almost turquoise shade called ‘Eton blue.’   The simple design of the Eton blue tops, with their round neck and button-up collars, was combined with plain white shorts and black socks. This is how Chelsea co...
