Chelsea\u2019s new front-of-shirt sponsor is Infinite Athlete.<\/p>\n
The Blues struck a deal worth \u00a340m and now the company will feature on the front of the shirts after they had started the season with a blank blue.<\/p>\n
The club was previously sponsored by the Three mobile network and so far has been playing this season without a badge after the Premier League blocked a potential deal with Paramount+. <\/p>\n
The new deal will apply to both men\u2019s and women\u2019s kits and is for the current season.<\/p>\n
Fans were given a glimpse of the new kit over the weekend during Chelsea\u2019s win against Tottenham in the WSL. <\/p>\n
The Blues men\u2019s team also rocked their new fit for the first time on Monday night in West London Derby against Fulham.<\/p>\n
