The 2011–12 season was Chelsea Football Club's 98th competitive season, 22nd consecutive season in the top flight of English football (20th in the Premier League), and 106th year in existence as a football club. While their sixth place in the league was their lowest domestic finish since 2001–02, they completed a cup double by winning their seventh FA Cup and their first UEFA Champions League.

Kit information

Adidas yet launched new Chelsea home, away, third and goalkeeper kit for this season.

  • Home: The new home kit was launched in April 2011 and featured a very broad horizontal shadow design, inspired by the kits in 1980s. The other unique feature was that the trimmings had a white block on them, so they were blue for the first time in the history of the club on the home kit.
  • Away: The away kit was unsurprisingly black and featured a 'fresh splash' turquoise squares on the upper chest, giving it a unique design.
  • Third: The new third kit was white with an indigo and yellow block on the upper chest.
  • Keeper: The new goalkeeper kit turned out to be white with maroon trimmings and socks, while the macaw/black from last season and navy/fluo green goalkeeper outfits from the 2009–10 seasons were retained, should they be needed.
