Kits information

Adidas launched new Chelsea home, away, third and goalkeeper kit for this season.

  • Home: The new home kit was launched in April 2011 and featured a very broad horizontal shadow design, inspired by the kits of the 1980s. The other unique feature was that the stripes had a white block on them, the stripes were blue for the first time in the history of the club's home kit.
  • Away: The away kit was unsurprisingly black and featured a 'fresh splash' turquoise squares on the upper chest, giving it a unique design.
  • Third: The new third kit was white with an indigo and yellow block on the upper chest.
  • Keeper: The new goalkeeper kit turned out to be white with maroon trimmings and socks, while the macaw/black from last season and navy/fluo green goalkeeper outfits from the 2009–10 seasons were retained, should they be needed.

Source: Premier League
Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
Notes:
  1. Chelsea won the Champions League and thus qualified for the group stage as defending champions, forfeiting their spot in the Europa League as FA Cup winners. This meant that Tottenham were to compete in the Europa League group stage, since, pursuant to the rules in effect at the time, only four clubs from the Premier League could play in the Champions League. Fifth-placed Newcastle United, who originally participated directly in the group stage, were pushed one round back.
  2. Liverpool won the League Cup and thus qualified for the Europa League third qualifying round.
