Chelsea shirt: the latest adidas kit or the 70s Retro retro look?

Despite the successes of recent years, a number of older Chelsea fans still hanker after the retro look of the 70s and 80s making the Chelsea retro shirt a top seller. The words 'Chelsea' and 'Retro' are a perfect fit-synonymous with the nearby Kings Road when it was graced by Chelsea legends such as Osgood, Harris & Hudson in it's 70s heyday as the epicentre of London fashion & nightlife.
