About this Chelsea 2012 / 2011 Retro Jersey
This is a retro edition of Chelsea's shirt from the 2011/12 season, listed at $14.06 by an independent Weidian seller. That season holds a particular place in the club's history as the campaign in which Chelsea won the European Cup for the first time, which is why its shirt remains a collector favourite. This page includes one warehouse QC photo of the garment — a modern supporter shirt made in that season's style, not a surviving original from the time.
Read it as a retro shirt, not a current kit. There is no player tier to compare at this price; the build follows the standard supporter pattern, with a regular fit intended for wearing or collecting. The useful comparison in this catalogue is with the 12/13 retro listing, which covers the immediately following season at the same $14.06 price. Season details changed between those campaigns, so use the photo here to confirm the design details belong to 2011/12 rather than assuming the two retro listings are interchangeable.
Sizing is governed by the seller's present-day chart, not by how shirts were sized in 2011/12. Lay a shirt you own flat, measure the chest width in centimetres from pit to pit, and compare that figure with the size chart on this listing. Photographs can make a retro-styled shirt look boxier than the chart will deliver, so trust the measurements. If you fall between sizes, take the larger — a slightly relaxed fit suits a retro shirt and guarantees a full season of comfortable wear.
The single QC photo on this page is a starting point, not the whole inspection. Go in order: crest and sponsor print alignment and edge quality first, then collar and sleeve seams compared on both sides for symmetry, then panel joins and print edges at full zoom. The fuller inspection happens after you order, when Kakobuy photographs your actual unit in the warehouse from several angles and you approve those photos before anything is shipped to you.
This is not an officially licensed Chelsea product, and it is not an original 2011/12 shirt; it is a retro-style garment from an independent seller, with the club name used for identification only. Judge it by the photo and the season details. To order, open the Kakobuy link: Kakobuy buys it, photographs your actual unit in the warehouse, and ships only after you approve the QC.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Chelsea jersey an official product?
No. This is an independent fan replica sourced from Weidian, not an officially licensed Chelsea product — brand names are referenced for identification only. Review the QC photo and decide for yourself before ordering on Kakobuy.
How much does Chelsea 2012 / 2011 Retro Jersey cost?
Around $14.06 at the current rate. The Weidian listing is the source of truth — the Kakobuy link above always shows the live figure.
What size should I order?
Sizes run supplier-specific. The reliable method is chest-width comparison against the size table on the listing — not your usual letter size.
Are the QC photos real?
They are: the 1 images here were shot in the warehouse on an actual unit, which lets you verify stitching and print before paying.
How does this differ from the Chelsea 12/13 retro listing?
This shirt covers 2011/12, the season before the 12/13 listing, and the season in which Chelsea first won the European Cup. Both are retro editions at $14.06, but the season-specific design details differ, so check the QC photo here against the 2011/12 details you expect rather than treating the two listings as the same shirt with a different label.
Is this an original shirt from the 2011/12 season?
No. It is a modern retro edition produced in the style of that season's shirt, sold by an independent seller. The QC photo shows the current production — crest, sponsor print and seams as made today — which is the right basis for judging it, along with the fresh warehouse photos Kakobuy takes of your unit after ordering.
What QC point matters most on this retro shirt?
Crest and sponsor alignment first, because period chest designs make any slant obvious. Then check collar and sleeve seam symmetry and clean print edges at full zoom. With one photo on the page, the decisive inspection is Kakobuy's multi-angle warehouse set for your actual shirt, which you approve before it ships.
