Chelsea launch limited edition collector's item celebrating club's 120th anniversary

Chelsea fans can get their hands on a limited edition collectable to celebrate the club’s 120th anniversary. Originally released in August, the official club store has re-launched the Chelsea Nike Home 120 Year Anniversary Special Edition Boxed Shirt 2025/26.

Priced at £200, the special edition of this season’s home shirt has a 120th anniversary patch sewn above the hem on the lower right of the body, with each one displaying a unique number to certify its place in the exclusive 1,905 sequence. The shirt also features embroidered text around the traditional Chelsea badge to form a commemorative crest reading ‘1905-2025 120 Years’.

It comes packaged in a royal blue presentation box with ‘CFC LDN’ and ‘120’ details along with the iconic club crest. The 120 Year Anniversary Boxed Shirt is available now at the Official Chelsea Store.

The club says its current home shirt ‘celebrates the Blues’ position as London’s cultural and sporting heartbeat’, with the grand architecture of the city woven into the design. Unveiling the 120th anniversary shirt, it said: “It all began at sunrise in west London.

“If legend is to be believed, it started with a dog bite, a strange twist of fate that sparked 120 years of Chelsea Football Club. From the very beginning, Chelsea did things differently.

“The first club to field an all-foreign starting 11. The first top-flight club to be managed by a Black manager. The first London club to win the Champions League.

“We are the trailblazers led by belief, not convention. Icons such as Foulke, Drake, Zola, Mourinho and Hayes have shaped the club. Each one moving the game forward in their own way. From the very first goal in Blackpool, Chelsea has carried fire in its heart.

“This limited-edition shirt is a tribute to our 120-year story. 1,905 individually numbered, each one a piece of history.”

It comes after Chelsea earned an impressive 5-1 win against Ajax in the Champions League on Wednesday (October 22). A dramatic first half saw the Dutch side reduced to 10 men inside 20 minutes, as well as three goals coming from the penalty spot.

The result leaves Chelsea sitting 11th in the Champions League table after three League Phase games, with Enzo Maresca’s side gearing up to host Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday. The weekend also marks the final days of the Fanatics mid-season sale, where hundreds of Chelsea products are reduced until 11.59pm on Sunday.

Among the items on sale are the Chelsea 2024/25 Home Match Shirt for £69.05 (was £124.99) and Chelsea 2024/25 Away Stadium Shirt for £46.95 (was £84.99). Many fans took to social media when the Chelsea first unveiled the 120th anniversary collection in August, with one writing on X: “Very beautiful, for a memorable milestone.”

Another said: “That should be our regular badge this season, that’s class.” Not everyone is sold, as this fan asked: “Where’s the club World Cup gold badge?”

While another Blue said: “Wow, this is beautiful.”
