Chelsea to wear home shirt against West Ham as wait for away kit continues

Chelsea will be wearing their home kit when they travel to take on West Ham United on Sunday, with the Blues still yet to unveil their away kit.

The new home shirt went on sale earlier this week without a front-of-shirt sponsor as Chelsea are yet to finalise their agreement with Infinite Athlete, who are expected to ink a deal worth over £40m annually.

While Chelsea continue to wait for a sponsor, fans are also being kept in the dark about both the away and third kits, which have not yet been revealed.

Both kits have been leaked online numerous times but there has not been any official word from Chelsea thus far.

Chelsea will play their first away game of the season on Sunday against West Ham but any supporters hoping to see the debut of the away kit will be disappointed as the Premier League have confirmed Chelsea will bring out their home strip once again.

Images of Chelsea's away shirt emerged online earlier this summer and fans have been given plenty of glimpses of the strip since. An image of Raheem Sterling wearing the away kit was used in Sky Sports' promotion for the West Ham Game, but the shirt will not be making its debut.

Levi Colwill was also spotted wearing the shirt in a video released on Chelsea's social media accounts, while NBA superstar Kevin Durant also posed for a Blues photoshoot wearing the unreleased jersey.

The away kit is expected to mix navy and blue in what has been described as a 'futuristic' pattern with golden accents.

As for the third shirt, eagle-eyed fans of EA Sports FC saw a model of former Chelsea star N'Golo Kante wearing the green kit during a promotional trailer for the upcoming game. Like the away kit, there has been no official mention from Chelsea about this one just yet.
