Chelsea Could Replace Three Logo With Message Of Peace

After losing their sponsor on Thursday, Chelsea could change the front of their shirts to carry a much more positive message.

Thomas Tuchel revealed he is open to the idea of Chelsea playing with a message of peace on their shirts, as long as his team have enough kits.


Thursday's announcement that Roman Abramovich had been sanctioned by the UK government, was followed by mobile network Three revealing they were suspending their sponsorship of Chelsea.

It was originally expected that Tuchel's side would be wearing sponsorless shirts on Thursday night, when they took on Norwich City in the league.

However, with Three's statement coming so soon before kick off in East Anglia, the team played on in normal kits, which likely won't be the case at the weekend.

The shirts are likely to remain blank but Tuchel refused to shut down the idea of a message of peace being carried on the kits, when asked in his pre match press conference.

"We can always wear a message for peace, and it can never be the wrong message," the Champions League winning manager said.

Tuchel shared his worry over the fact that the club might not be able to afford the kits, because of the rules that are currently in place for the team.

They aren't allowed to spend more than £20,000 travelling to each game, whilst they can only spend £500,000 on operations for each match.

"Of course, maybe the worry is more to find enough shirts that we can play in, with the sanctions," the German added, "But as long as we have enough shirts, and as long as the bus is full of fuel, we will arrive and we will be competitive.

"This is what everybody can be sure of and this is what we demand of ourselves. When it’s a big storm, you dig in, you are all together and then you stay strong and go through it. But messages for peace can never be wrong."

There could be further financial troubles at Stamford Bridge, with claims that the team could run out of money in just over two weeks.

One expert also claimed that the might yet even be headed for administration, although there is still hope that it could be sold whilst the sanctions remain.
