White Spray to Messy and Tape to Heavy - The Reasons Why Chelsea WillWearThe Three Logo Until The End of the Season
It is understood that a proposal to use a white spray to paint over the logos was rejected as too messy.

Three have been informed about Chelsea's decision and are resigned to continuing to be associated with the club.
