The change strip is inspired by the red and green vertical striped attire worn away from Stamford Bridge in the 1974/75 season but has roots even further back.

Erstwhile manager Dave Sexton introduced red to the Blues' kit scheme two years earlier as a homage to the outfit worn by the Hungarian national team in the 1950s.

Led by Ferenc Puskás, the 'Magnificent Magyars' rose to prominence after memorably running out 5-3 winners over England at Wembley during that period.

Enzo Maresca's side will don the new change kit in their opening Club World Cup encounter with Flamengo on 20 June and against ES Tunis five days later.
