A superb late-2000s Chelsea shirt — the striking black Adidas away kit from the 2008/09 season, complete with Premier League sleeve patches and “CHELSEA 1” printing to the reverse.

One of the more distinctive Chelsea shirts of the Roman Abramovich era, this black away design combines Adidas' classic three-stripe styling with the famous Samsung sponsorship and embroidered Chelsea crest.

Produced by Adidas, this example carries product code 368089, which corresponds with documented examples of Chelsea's 2008/09 away shirt.

The shirt is particularly eye-catching from the back, featuring CHELSEA across the shoulders above a large number 1, finished in Premier League-style lettering and numbering with the Premier League lion detail at the base of the numeral.
