The 1997/99 Chelsea home long-sleeve jersey immortalizes the Blues' golden era at the pinnacle of European football! The “Italian contingent” era, founded by Ruud Gullit and coached by Gianluca Vialli, reached its zenith in 1998 with a historic treble: League Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, and UEFA Super Cup victories—marking the club's first-ever European “Grand Slam” season. Stamford Bridge witnessed iconic moments: League Cup penalty shootouts against Blackburn and Ipswich, with Le Bœuf converting all four kicks to showcase iron will; Zola's 71st-minute winner against Stuttgart in the Cup Winners' Cup final, crafting legend with his nimble touch; and a secure third-place league finish securing European qualification. The kit, crafted by Umbro, epitomized retro elegance. Its authentic royal blue base featured subtle vertical stripes, while the long sleeves paired with a polo collar adorned in thin white, yellow, and black stripes. Raglan sleeves accented with yellow and black trim echoed classic design elements. Above the crest, embroidered “European Cup Winners' Cup” lettering proclaimed the glory. The Coca-Cola sponsorship logo complements the clean silhouette, while the cotton-blend fabric balances warmth with competitive performance. Owning this long-sleeve jersey not only preserves the historic legacy of Chelsea's first European treble but also pays tribute to legends like Zola and Di Matteo. It embodies the milestone journey of Chelsea's rise to European supremacy in the 1990s, allowing you to relive those glittering championship years through its retro blue hue!
