CHELSEA has teased a new collaboration that has its fans excited.
Taking to Threads, the official team account posted a short video with both the Chelsea and Nike logo.
The latest retro kits that are part of the Chelsea line.
Recently, Chelsea has been marketing a retro ‘90s look, selling official ‘90s theme shirts.
These shirts are supplied by Score Draw, but the use of the Nike logo in the video makes fans think it’s a teaser for a new official kit.
The video features an official Nintendo Game Boy Pocket with a custom backlit screen.
Next to the Game Boy is a copy of Mario Golf for the console, a classic game from the era.
However, the game playing on the handheld isn’t Mario Golf, or even a Game Boy game at all.
It seems like a custom game of a lion collecting Chelsea logos as they run through London.
At the end of the short video, it displays the slogan: “It’s a ‘90s thing.”
Originally people looking at the video thought that it was teasing Nintendo as the latest sponsor of Chelsea.
The gaming company has sponsored football teams before, so this wouldn’t be anything extraordinary.
However, a closer look at the video has led to another theory popping up.
If you look at the top of the video there is clearly a slinky just off the screen. To the right there is something that looks like a sweatband.
This is classic ‘90s gear, and alongside the Score Draw line, it seems that Chelsea’s next kit will take on strong ‘90s inspiration.
The ‘90s evoke strong impressions of neon colours, and exaggerated features.
While it’s not clear if the video points to a Nintendo sponsorship, or a new kit design, we should find out soon.
Chelsea will reportedly reveal the new kit this month, and all of us are waiting to see it.
