Chelsea Away Shirt 1996/98 (L) is a late‑1990s Umbro design worn during an important period for the club in the Premier League. This Chelsea shirt comes from the seasons around the club’s 1997 FA Cup triumph under Ruud Gullit and the following campaign when Gianluca Vialli led Chelsea to League Cup and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup success, placing it firmly within the Chelsea 1996/97 and 1997/98 era.

The away jersey features a yellow base with subtle tonal vertical stripes, complemented by blue and light blue shoulder panels and fine yellow piping. A polo collar with a V‑neck insert completes the neckline, while the Umbro logo and Chelsea crest sit on the chest above the Coors sponsor. This Umbro Chelsea jersey reflects the bold design style common in Premier League kits of the late 1990s and remains a sought‑after Chelsea retro shirt among collectors.
