Chelsea Stamford Bridge Old Shed Ceramic Mug - Originals Edition

This one goes back to where it all started.
Before the maps. The original Ground Designs.
Just clean minimalist lines and bold club colours— the essence of the ground itself.
Each design is a subtle nod to the architecture of football.
A location. An entrance. A balcony. A seat pattern.
Something about it caught our eye — and stayed with us.

Chelsea have called Stamford Bridge their home for their entire 112 year history. The ground, in fact, predates the club, having previously been home to the London Athletic Club. When it was converted to an athletics and football ground in 1905 by Archibald Leitch, Fulham were initially invited to take up residence. When they declined the offer and chose to stay at Craven Cottage, a new club was formed to fill the void - Chelsea Football Club.

Stamford Bridge retained its oval shape for almost 90 years - its two terraced ends largely unchanged during this entire period. Both ends were originally open, but in the 1930's a crooked cover at the back of the South Bank was added, eventually gaining its apt nickname "The Shed".

Redevelopment came in the 1990's, and all that now remains of the original Shed End is a large retaining wall around the back of the new stand. The spirit of the Old Shed lives on in the memories of many Chelsea fans, however, and this is my tribute to its humble place in Chelsea folklore.
