📸 Chelsea unveil 1970s throwback third kit
Chelsea have revealed their new third kit with a nod to their 1970s era.
The change strip is inspired by the red and green vertical striped attire worn away from Stamford Bridge in the 1974/75 season but has roots even further back.

Erstwhile manager Dave Sexton introduced red to the Blues' kit scheme two years earlier as a homage to the outfit worn by the Hungarian national team in the 1950s.
Led by Ferenc Puskás, the 'Magnificent Magyars' rose to prominence after memorably running out 5-3 winners over England at Wembley during that period.
Enzo Maresca's side will don the new change kit in their opening Club World Cup encounter with Flamengo on 20 June and against ES Tunis five days later.
What do you think of the new kit? Let us know in the comments!

Birmingham appoint Jutkiewicz as attack scout
Former Birmingham City striker Lukas Jutkiewicz will help the Championship club recruit new attacking talent after being appointed as a lead positional scout. The 36-year-old retired at the end of last season after helping Blues storm to the League One title and seal an immediate return to the second tier following relegation in 2024. Advertisement Jutkiewicz spent nine years with Blues, making 358 appearances and scoring 69 goals. The club say his new "hybrid" role will have "an emphasis on the use of analytical tools to help identify potential targets". Jutkiewicz will attend matches and use video analysis and data to "create holistic evaluations of potential player acquisitions". His remit will cover building shortlists of possible domestic and international transfer targets and ensure the club's profiling model "remains consistent". "Now that my playing career has come to a close, I'm excited to begin a new chapter," Jutkiewicz said. Advertisement "I look forward to applying the knowledge and experience I've gained over my 20-year playing career in a different capacity, and I will bring the same commitment and passion to this new role as I did on the pitch." Birmingham director of football Craig Gardner said part of the appeal of appointing Jutkiewicz was he "knows the DNA of the club" and is sure he "will form a key role in enhancing our attacking player acquisition". Gardner added: "It will be a great environment for Lukas to both add significant value based on his experiences and learn from an outstanding team."

Inter Milan & Italy Star Loses Temper With PSG Fans: ‘Don't Take The P*ss With Me'
Inter Milan & Italy Star Loses Temper With PSG Fans: 'Don't Take The P*ss With Me' Inter Milan defender Francesco Acerbi lost his temper with a group of PSG fans, taking a threatening tone during an autograph session. An Instagram video captures the moment that the 37-year-old burst out 'don't take the p*ss with me' before telling a fan he'd 'punch' them. Advertisement Inter Milan are currently in the United States for the Club World Cup. As part of their visit, the Nerazzurri are also getting the chance to meet with fans stateside. This is a rare opportunity for many fans to greet the players. Inter Defender Francesco Acerbi Threatens PSG Fans: 'Don't Take The P*ss, I'll Punch You!' PASADENA, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 17: Francesco Acerbi #15 of FC Internazionale Milano warms up prior to the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group E match between CF Monterrey and FC Internazionale Milano at Rose Bowl Stadium on June 17, 2025 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by) At one autograph session, Inter defender Francesco Acerbi encountered fans of Paris Saint-Germain. PSG are the team that battered Inter 5-0 in the Champions League final last month. And evidently, Acerbi did not appreciate the reminder – and some taunts from one fan in particular. A PSG fan reminded the 37-year-old of his losing battle with star winger Bradley Barcola. 'Don't take the p*ss with me!' he replied. 'France are top, sure. But Barcola-Acerbi, no.'
