There may be another two months of the current season to play, but attention will soon turn to the 2025/26 campaign and what Chelsea can expect.
Having started the 2024/25 campaign so well, things have petered out a little in the last few weeks, with the Blues just about clinging on to a spot in the top four in the Premier League.
Enzo Maresca's side are still in the UEFA Conference League, preparing for a quarter-final clash with Legia Warsaw not long after the international break.
Once the final ball is kicked this season, supporters will immediately turn their attentions to the new campaign, with the release of the fixtures and the release of new home, away and third kits particularly exciting occasions for fans.
There have been plenty of kit leaks in the past few weeks and months, but we will not know exactly what the new shirts will look like for the 2025/26 season until later on. the new home shirt is sometimes unveiled before the current season has ended, or the club waits until the summer really kicks in.
But while the official thing is highly anticipated, there's a growing market in football for concept kits too. There is a growing community of people who want unique, artistic shirts that are designed, either by designers on computers, or run through artificial intelligence.
So here at football.london we thought we would try and have a piece of that market too. We asked our designers to run Chelsea home and away kits through AI to see what concept kits it came up with. And here are the results...
Home kit
First of all, we don't know who will be the front of shirt sponsor for Chelsea next season. The Blues have not had a sponsor on the front of the kits this season, having failed to tie down a deal.
In order to run the shirts through a sim, we've gone with Qatar Airways as the front of shirt sponsor, given there have been reports that they are in talks with the west Londoners over a deal for 2025/26.

The first three shirts that come through the artificial intelligence are all on a similar theme. We have the regular blue shirt with a variety of different swirl patterns running through them.
Some have the Nike swoosh in white, while others have a yellow Nike swoosh, with the second kit also showing yellow numbers rather than white.

Next up we have a bit of an out there design for the home shirt. The blue is supplemented with some fluorescent, glow in the dark white patches that are maybe supposed to resemble bolts of lightning.
We can get on board with this, despite being a bit wacky.

This next one above has lighter shades of blue within the shirt, more likely resembling clouds in the sky, as opposed to the lightning of the one prior.
Then finally, below, we've got one that has lines and patches going in all different directions. Interestingly with this one, the Nike swoosh is in yellow, but the numbers are in white - more in line with Premier League standards!

Away kit
It's always with the away kits that things get a bit more interesting. There is, of course, only so much you can do with a blue home shirt.
And AI has not disappointed us here.

The first couple we've got are a nice yellow ochre colour, with hints of midnight blue and a midnight blue trim on the collar and sleeves on the first one and then the same midnight blue colour running through the second one in patches/swirls.

Things then switch slightly for the second one, with a patchy midnight blue main shirt colour, with yellow trim down the sides and on the collar and sleeve.

Away from those colours, we've got a pink shirt with some royal blue running through it and then the last one is the most contentious of the lot... orange, blue and pink themes in a smorgasbord of colour!

Goalkeeper kit
The AI has treated us to a goalkeeper kit with Chelsea too. Or at least that's what we think given the chunky gloves being worn by the computer generated man!

This is an amber and white mix in horizontal patches, with plain amber shorts and amber and white socks. The big question is, which goalkeeper, given the issues Maresca has had with his No.1, would be wearing it?
