Chelsea FC Primary Logo

Chelsea FC

2006 - Present

With the new ownership of Roman Abramovich, and the club’s centenary approaching, combined with demands from fans for the popular 1950s badge to be restored, it was decided that the crest should be changed again in 2005. The new crest was officially adopted for the start of the 2005 – 2006 season and marked a return to the older design, used from 1953 to 1986, featuring a blue heraldic lion holding a staff surrounded by a blue ring with two red with white trim footballs and rose. The blue ring also includes arched wordmark “CHELSEA” at the top and “FOOTBALL CLUB” at the bottom in white with yellow trim.

Chelsea FC Primary Logo

Chelsea Football Club is one of the most successful and popular football clubs in England. Their primary logo has been around since 1905 when the club was founded as a recreational team for workers at Stamford Bridge Stadium. Throughout its history, Chelsea FC’s primary logo has gone through several iterations to reflect its evolution from an amateur side to one of Europe’s top teams.

The first iteration of the Chelsea FC crest featured two blue lions rampant on either side of a white shield with three red roses inside it and “CFC” written above it in bold letters. This design remained unchanged until 1952 when new owners decided to revamp the look by adding more color and detail to it; this included a circular border around the shield with “The Pensioners" inscribed within along with four smaller shields featuring images that represented each corner point: England (St George's Cross), Scotland (Thistle), Ireland (Shamrock) & Wales(Leek). The current version includes all these elements but also features five stars above CFC signifying their five league titles won between the 1955-2005 seasons; making them only the sixth English team ever to achieve such a feat!

Since then, there have been minor changes made over time like changing font size or typeface but the overall core design remains the same even today which speaks volumes about how much fans cherish traditional values associated with brand identity despite modern advancements in technology & marketing strategies adopted by other clubs nowadays! It goes without saying that Chelsea FC Primary Logo will continue being an iconic symbol not just amongst Blues supporters worldwide but also within the wider football community across the globe for many years to come - no matter what era we find ourselves living in!
