Show Your Blue Pride With Chelsea Football Shirts

If you're a fan of the Blues, then you'll need a Chelsea football shirt to let the world know. Whether you want to wear it to a match, or you can only dream of seeing your team in action at Stamford Bridge, finding Chelsea football shirts on eBay will let you show your Blue spirit. Chelsea football jerseys also make a great gift for any football lovers in the family.

If you're not familiar with football, then buying the right Chelsea shirt can be a bit of a nightmare. You want to keep your planned gift a secret, so here's what you need to look out for, to make sure your present doesn't disappoint.

• Of course, blue Chelsea football shirts are the classic first strip colour. Make sure you check which season the shirt is from, so you can get the current model.
• If your intended recipient already has the current season's shirt, then look for vintage Chelsea shirts from past years. In particular, the 2011-12 Chelsea jersey is a great choice, as that was when the Blues won the Champions' League.
• Away Chelsea shirts are less commonly worn, but still instantly recognisable by fans. Chelsea usually wear an all-white kit for away matches.
• As well as the shirt, you might want to get accessories if your recipient likes playing football. Chelsea football shorts are also blue, while the socks are white.

To make a present really special, you can have it printed to your specifications. Add your recipient's name or nickname to the back, along with a number of your choice. Not sure what to get? Ask who the recipient's favourite player is, and choose their number.

Counterfeit football shirts are very common, but unlike fake handbags or designer gear, they're usually very easy to spot. If you want to make sure you're buying the real thing, look closely at the details. Often, fake shirts have the proportions of prints slightly wrong. The inside label will usually also show plainly whether you're looking at a real deal or a cheap fake.

Of course. Stars of the current lineup are always available. If you want to find a shirt bearing the name of a past Chelsea legend, such as Frank Lampard or Didier Drogba, you might want to look for used Chelsea football shirts for sale.
