THE VITALS:

Team: Chelsea

Brand: Umbro

Era: 2001-03 (Used during the 2001-02 & 2002-03 Barclaycard Premiership seasons, and the 2002 FA Cup Final)

Name/Number: Terry #26

CONDITION: GOOD:

For a shirt that is over 15 years old, the: crest, felt sponsor, and Umbro diamond are in excellent condition, however the main body does show wear, most notably a tear in the left shoulder, and significant damage to the number 26 on the back. Bar these aberrations however, the shirt is still in very wearable condition, although at this point, it may be better suited to framing, or training purposes.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Medium

Pit to Pit Measurement: 21.5 inches

Shirt Length: 30 inches 

The dimensions of the shirt suggest that that it could possibly a fit a size large, however it isn’t too dissimilar to a medium sized shirt made today.

DESCRIPTION:

Taking over from Autoglass as Chelsea’s main sponsor; Fly Emirates ushered Chelsea into the noughties, while Umbro introduced their ‘Vapa-Tech’ range to accompany ‘the Blues’ new strip for the next 2 seasons. This shirt would also feature a cleaner look than the previous shirt, and the inclusion of a collar gives it a particularly classy look.
