The Design
Colorways earn their place in football history, and this 1998 design is a faithful recreation: every stripe, block, and accent placed as Chelsea wore them. The team palette reads instantly to any fan of the club.
Fit & Fabric
A quick note on versions: this is the supporter's cut of the shirt. Same colors, same crest, same name and number as the on-pitch design, with a relaxed fit that makes it wearable seven days a week rather than ninety minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
+What season is this Chelsea shirt from
This design is the 1998 edition — the campaign's specific colorway, crest, and lettering. Season-specific shirts are how collectors mark eras, and this one captures that campaign's look faithfully
+What colors does this Chelsea shirt come in
This listing is the club colorway. Where Chelsea released home, away, and third variations for the season, each appears as its own listing — so you can build the full kit collection at your own pace
+Is the crest embroidered or printed
The crest is applied in the style of the season's design — modern shirts typically use heat-bonded crests, retro reproductions often recreate the era's sewn-on look. Either way, the finish matches the design it celebrates and is built to survive regular cold washing
+Is this shirt a good gift for a Chelsea fan
It is about as safe as football gifting gets — a Lampard shirt in the fan's size with their club's colors. Add custom name and number printing for kids and you have the gift they talk about for months. Birthdays, holidays, and match-day surprises: this one rarely misses
+How do I pick the right size when buying as a gift
Measure a shirt they already love and compare to the chart — that is the reliable path. Or simply order their standard tee size; exchanges are free within 30 days if the fit is off
+What makes a better gift — home or away shirt
Home is the classic gift; away is the insider's gift. Fans who already own the home shirt light up more over the away version — it shows you paid attention to their collection
+Which player and number is printed on this shirt
This shirt carries Lampard with the number 8 — the name and digits Lampard wore for Chelsea that season. The lettering style matches the season's typography, so the back looks exactly as it did on the pitch
Grab your size, add custom name and number printing if the mood strikes, and this Chelsea shirt with Lampard on the back is ready to wear the moment you open the box. Two shirts in one order cover most fan wardrobes easily.
