After a long and fruitful relationship, Chelsea will stop wearing Adidas kits next season. The Blues revealed they'll leave German kit giant Adidas after signing a lucrative deal with Nike.
The deal will guarantee Chelsea 66 million euros per season, with the contract extending for the next 15 years.
Chelsea's director Marina Granovskaia shared details of the partnership on the team's website.
"Like Chelsea, Nike is known around the world for its excellence and innovation and we look forward to working together in what is sure to be a successful partnership. We believe Nike will be able to support our growth into new markets as well as helping us maintain our place among the world’s elite football clubs," the exec stated.
The Blues' previous deal with Adidas guaranteed the club 33 million euros per season. The agreement will force Nike to provide kits for all of the team's categories, including their youth and Ladies teams.
The American sportswear giant will secure its second English Premier League Team, after Manchester United signed the most lucrative deal for an English side with Adidas.
