ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB







Special Report: Chelsea Football Club 05

Chelsea's traditional kit colours are royal blue shirts and shorts with white socks. The club crest has been changed several times in attempts to modernise or re-brand; the current crest, featuring a ceremonial lion holding a staff, is a modified version of the one first adopted in the 1950s.

The club has sustained the fifth highest average all-time attendance in English football. Their average home gate for the 2008–09 season was 41,588, the sixth highest in the Premier League.
