This Chelsea FC 1997–99 Home jersey captures a golden transitional era that helped redefine the club’s identity in English and European football. Across those seasons, Chelsea lifted the 1997/98 League Cup and the 1998 UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, establishing themselves as a stylish, trophy-winning force under Gianluca Vialli. The shirt is for Gianfranco Zola (25), the player who embodied that transformation more than anyone else.
During the 1997–99 period, Zola was at the height of his influence—earning PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 1997 and dazzling English football with his technique, creativity, and match-winning moments. Finished with Umbro’s classic cut, the Autoglass sponsor, Premier League sleeve patch, and Chelsea’s iconic lion crest, this jersey is a pure throwback to flair, elegance, and the dawn of modern Chelsea.
