Chelsea's 2022/23 home kit has all but been confirmed, with JD Sports leaking a video of the new jersey.
It was previously unclear as to what strip the Blues would be lining up in for next season, as a kit launch did not happen on it's usual date back in May due to the restrictions placed on the club.
Roman Abramovich's sanctioning back in February saw all marketing deals suspended, meaning that the Blues would wait until new owners were in place to launch the kit.

Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over at the end of May, with the kit set to be launched over a month later.
It was previously unclear as to whether the Blues would stay with Three UK as their shirt sponsor after the company asked to be removed from the jerseys during Abramovich's sanctioning period.
Despite their request, Chelsea could not remove the logo from their shirts and continued to play with the brand on the front of the kit.

It appears that Three will feature once again front and centre next season, as the kit has been leaked.
JD Sports have put the jersey up for sale in the USA, with the Blues yet to officially launch the kit themselves.
It is unclear as to whether this was a scheduling error by the supplier, with American Chelsea fans being able to get their kit as early as Monday if they order via express delivery.
The Blues are expected to officially show the kit and put it for sale on the megastore in the coming days or weeks.

Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to react to the jersey, which had previously met a negative response when leaks emerged.
One user stated: "It's nice, just want to see the full kit with shorts.", with another stating "The more I see it the nicer it gets."
While others were not convinced, stating "Horrible!"
Chelsea may have been hoping to unveil a new signing alongside the kit as they agreed a £55 million fee with Leeds United for Raphinha.

However, a move for the Brazilian has been thrown into doubt as it was revealed that he is awaiting confirmation from Barcelona regarding their financial situation.
However, with Leeds wishing to keep their promise to Chelsea after accepting the bid, it looks like Barcelona could be set to miss out.
The Blues could still look to unveil a signing along with the kit launch, but it is unclear as to when an announcement regarding the launch will happen following JD Sports' reveal in the USA.
