Score Draw Chelsea 1988 Retro Third Shirt

This is a retro replica manufactured by Score Draw, faithfully recreating the design of the 1988 third shirt. It is not an original shirt from that season but a modern reproduction based on historical accuracy.

The shirt is made with a diamond-weave fabric, characteristic of Umbro kits from the late 1980s, to replicate the original feel and appearance.

Yes, you can customise your shirt with a name and number of your choice. The printing style aims to match that worn by players during the era.

It is recommended to hand wash the shirt in cold water with a mild detergent. If using a washing machine, select a gentle cycle and wash with similar colours. Do not tumble dry.

While it's a wearable shirt, it's designed primarily as a collector's item and for casual wear, reflecting the style of the era rather than modern performance sportswear.

This shirt was worn during Chelsea's 1987-88 season, notably during a crucial play-off match against Blackburn Rovers. It's remembered for its unique design and the dramatic circumstances of that season.

Retro shirts often have a looser, more relaxed fit than modern slim-fit athletic jerseys. It's advisable to check the specific size guide provided by the retailer for measurements.

Ensure the shirt is washed in cold water with mild detergent and air-dried away from direct sunlight. Avoid excessive exposure to UV rays.

Avoid high heat when ironing. Iron inside out on a low setting. Do not tumble dry. Hand wash gently around the printed areas.

This is characteristic of the original diamond-weave fabric. Washing it gently a few times with a fabric softener may help improve texture slightly, but the unique feel is part of its retro charm.

Carefully snip any loose threads with sharp scissors to prevent them from snagging on other items. Avoid vigorous rubbing or washing.
