Chelsea are to go this season's kit for the Champions League final.
Manchester City and Chelsea will both be wearing their home strips in Saturday's final in Porto.
Though unlike in the FA Cup final, when they ran out in next season's eye-catching strip, Chelsea will revert to the one they have been using for most of the campaign for their next showpiece occasion.
Chelsea lost at Wembley in the 2021-22 kit which was picked as the ideal opportunity to help showcase it, coming just a few days after its unveiling, before returning to their existing one for the remainder of the season, says the Daily Mail.
Clubs can notify UEFA if they wish to use a kit in the final that was not registered by the cut-off date for the competition earlier in the season.
But Chelsea's decision to avoid switching and give their new kit another big-game platform this weekend will have gone down well with those at the club who fear it may be unlucky to don new strips early.
