Chelsea 2003/04 third jersey
Chelsea wore this as a third in 2003/04. Umbro made it, Fly Emirates was on the front: dark navy with royal blue side panels.
Chelsea's 2003/04 away was kept on as the 2004/05 third.
On the garment, the tell is the accenting outlines on the collar. We read that, the neck label and the tag before we call one original.

The print gets you close, the colour finishes it
Umbro throughout, so the sponsor splits the era in two. Autoglass ends with 2000/01, and Fly Emirates starts with 2001/02 and stays.
Chelsea wore Umbro with the Fly Emirates print in 2001/02, 2002/03, 2003/04 and 2004/05. Only in 2003/04 was the third dark navy with royal blue side panels, so the colour settles it. For 2003/04 the tell is the accenting outlines on the collar.
The six checks we run on any jersey — the label code, the sleeve badge, the print, and what none of them prove.
What an early-2000s original costs — real asking prices, and the reproduction price an original has to clear.
