Chelsea wore that kit in the 1966 FA Cup semi, which they lost to Sheffield Wednesday. As far as I know the kit was never worn again.

I watched the 67 semi at Villa Park on British Pathe news last night and Chelsea were not in striped shirts.

John,

I seem to remember Chelsea wearing a Blue/Black striped kit for the 1967 FA Cup Semi Final versus Leeds – any recollection? I’ve included it on my site for a while now.

Any chance you could do some international kits John? Other than the home nations that is…particularly any from the 86 World Cup or the Holland / Russia ones from Euro 88. They’d look fantastic!

On a serious note how about Carlisle’s iconic away shirt from 1998, the one in Stobart’s corporate colours

Good shouts Andrew & John. I’ve actually got a couple of Half Man Half Biscuit CDs from that era!
John, funnily enough I have illustrated both those kits (the Admiral one just last week) and they will appear shortly.
