Chelsea and local fashion designer Nicholas Daley are commemorating the legacy of Paul Canoville in a stylish limited-edition clothing line.
Paul Canoville holds a monumental place in the club's history. As the first Black player in Chelsea's men's first team, his resilience began shattering barriers on the path that eventually led to the diverse Chelsea we know today.
Nicholas Daley, an award-winning designer based in London, is renowned for blending cultural heritage with contemporary style. Both Daley and Canoville share deep Caribbean roots, and their heritage lies at the core of this collaboration, emphasising the strength of diversity and inclusion.

Daley's latest creation, the "Tied Together" collection, showcases a terrace tracksuit jacket inspired by the 1980s and a "Pride of London" scarf.
Designed in Daley's distinctive style, this ensemble draws inspiration from the kit famously worn by Canoville as part of a celebrated promotion-winning team. It's undeniable that the term "iconic" is fitting for one of the most beloved Chelsea shirts of all time, and the "Tied Together" collection modernises this fashion for the next generation of change-makers, inspired by the Canoville narrative.
