rewrite this title Chelsea release exclusive clothing range with Drake’s OVO

Chelsea have no shortage of celebrity supporters – from household British stars Jeremy Clarkson and Damon Albarn to Hollywood royalty Michael Caine and Will Ferrell. But in today’s global spotlight, no fan shines brighter than Canadian rap icon Drake.

Now, the Grammy Award-winning star is taking his love for the Blues to the next level with the launch of the ‘OVO x Chelsea’ collection – a 16-piece streetwear range blending the essence of Drake’s OVO Sound label with Chelsea’s West London edge.

The collection features a lineup of tops, hats, and legwear, merging both brands’ visual identities in fresh, fashion-forward designs.

Leading the drop is the OVO x Chelsea Varsity Jacket – crafted in Canada from premium wool, leather, and mixed fabrics, complete with embroidered patches across the chest and back.

Also included are the Owl T-shirt and Runner T-shirt, available in a variety of colourways for a cleaner, everyday look, while a Long Sleeve T-shirt celebrates the transatlantic connection with the number six – a nod to both Toronto’s nickname and Chelsea’s SW6 postcode.

Other highlights include a Rugby Shirt featuring a traditional white collar and cotton body in black or blue, and a Hoodie that puts a fresh spin on the Chelsea and OVO logos. The Track Jacket and Track Pants come in black or white with blue detailing – because, of course, blue is the colour.

The drop is fronted by none other than Central Cee, another Chelsea devotee and the UK rap superstar who famously teamed up with Drake on the 2023 chart-topping “On the Radar Freestyle.” The campaign – led by the slogan “Two Cities, One Heartbeat” – sees Central Cee and his crew showcasing the range in a slick, city-spanning launch video.

The ‘OVO x Chelsea’ collection is available now via the official Chelsea online store and the Megastore at Stamford Bridge. Select colourways are exclusive to online purchases. The Varsity Jacket is available for pre-order and will begin shipping in mid-August.

Whether you rep The Six, SW6, or both – this collab is more than merch, it’s a statement.
