The goalkeeper is the team’s last line of defence, and the goalkeeper shirt modelled on our iconic away kit of the 90s could be your last chance to get hold of our rebel range of spring 2026 training wear.
The rebel range based on the unforgettable and timelessly divisive grey and orange away kit worn between 1994 and 1996 has proved a big hit with Blues supporters. It’s brash colour scheme and in-your-face design may still split opinion just as much as it did when it was first glimpsed 30 years ago, but one thing is for sure. The rebel stands out.
Many items in the range are close to selling out, or have done already, but one of those still available is the favourite of our very own Pedro Neto – as evidenced by the photos of him turning up for training at Cobham in his rebel goalkeeper shirt.
The Chelsea goalkeepers of the 90s were an eclectic bunch, full of their own unique character and personality, many of them becoming cult heroes who remain firm fan favourites to this day.
Sticking to the grey theme with orange accents of the rest of the rebel range and the original outfield shirt it is based on, the modern take on that classic also brings back memories of a couple of cult heroes who minded the Chelsea net wearing grey during the 90s.
Dmitri Kharine and Ed de Goey both lined up between the posts in grey for Wembley cup finals during that decade, as the Blues ushered in a new era of success. You may not be able to match flamboyance of the former’s perm or the latter’s trademark moustache, but your outfit can at least look the part.
If you’re more comfortable watching from the sidelines than diving around in the mud in the six-yard box, the black gilet from the rebel range is also in stock and might be more your thing, with Nike’s water-repellent and therma-FIT technology keeping you warm and dry.
