debut
Chelsea have revealed their new home kit for the 2021/22 season with a brilliant video, featuring Callum Hudson-Odoi dancing to a 60s hit by British band The Zombies.
The Blues have officially unveiled the shirt ahead of its debut on the pitch in the FA Cup final against Leicester City on Saturday.

The psychedelic Nike kit with striking yellow trim was leaked months ago, and the reported images of the shirt were 100 per cent accurate.
The Blues have unveiled the 60s-inspired shirt in a brilliant video featuring a classic tune ‘Time of the Season’ by The Zombies.
But while we love seeing Hudson-Odoi throwing shapes on the decks, we're not sure about the shirt itself.
And it's safe to say it has divided the Stamford Bridge faithful...
The shirt is very different to previous Blues’ home kits.
The main colour is ‘Lyon Blue’ but this time it features ‘Opti Yellow’ logos rather than the traditional white colours.
Design-wise, Nike have gone for an abstract zig-zag and checker all-over print - said to be inspired by 60s style prints.
A v-collar is used round the neck, while there are yellow stripes along the sides.

Then there's the price...
A fan version of the shirt - the 'stadium' kit - is priced at £69.95 on the official club shop.
The 'vapor' version - the one players actually wear on the pitch with more techincal fabric - will put you back a huge £104.95.
Even the kids kits are pricey, with the youth range starting from £44.95 for a full infant kit up to £54.95 for a kids shirt.
What do you make of the new kit, Blues fans?
