This is a rare, authentic Chelsea FC 1996–97 away football jersey, produced by Umbro and sponsored by Autoglass. The shirt features an all-black design with subtle vertical ribbed texture for breathability and performance, characteristic of late-90s football kits. Prominently displayed across the chest in tonal black-on-black raised lettering is the 'AUTOGlass' sponsor logo — a classic example of monochromatic branding from that era. Above it sits the embroidered Chelsea FC crest, also in black, maintaining the minimalist aesthetic. The collar bears the official Chelsea FC tag with the Umbro diamond logo, confirming its authenticity as an official licensed product. Short sleeves with raglan construction offer enhanced mobility, while the lightweight polyester fabric ensures comfort during play or casual wear. This piece is highly collectible among vintage football memorabilia enthusiasts and streetwear fans who appreciate retro sportswear aesthetics. Ideal for fans of 90s English football culture, it pairs well with cargo pants, track bottoms, or layered under oversized jackets for a modern heritage look. Though originally designed for match use, its timeless silhouette and monochrome appeal make it suitable for everyday streetwear, exhibitions, or themed events celebrating Premier League history.
