The 1997 FA Cup final shirt — the Umbro kit worn by Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Wise and Roberto Di Matteo when Chelsea won their first major trophy in 26 years — remains one of the most nostalgic shirts in the club's history.
Didier Drogba's Chelsea shirts from the José Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti years are heavily collected, especially the 2004-05 title-winning season and the 2011-12 Champions League final in Munich, where Drogba scored the equaliser and the winning penalty.
The early-to-mid 1990s Umbro shirts, with their bold colour-blocked designs and short-lived shirt sponsors, are a cult favourite among collectors — a world away from Chelsea's more minimalist modern kits.
Frank Lampard's shirts from the 2004-05 and 2009-10 title-winning seasons, and Petr Čech's distinctive goalkeeper jerseys, are also popular pieces among Blues collectors.
