London-based fashion brand Nicholas Daley have teamed up with Chelsea FC to release a capsule collection celebrating the life and career of Paul Canoville, the club's first black player.
In celebration of the UK's Black History Month, the London-based designer created the limited edition 'Tied Together' collection to capture the essence of Canoville's transformative impact on the sport, while connecting young fans to the history of the game and creating new opportunities in the community.

The new Chelsea x Nicholas Daley collection takes inspiration from Chelsea's iconic 1983-84 kit. It combines a blue base with a tartan pattern, featuring the same different shades of blue as the kit.
In contrast to many other collections, the new Chelsea x Nicholas Daley collection is remarkably small. It only features a specially designed scarf and track jacket.

According to the club's press release, the project took two years to complete. All proceeds from the sale of the collection will be donated to The Paul Canoville Foundation, which supports the next generation of young fans.
The Chelsea X Nicholas collection is very limited. The Track Jacket is already sold out (despite the price tag of £200), while the scarf is still available (£40).
