Retro kits have been common in FIFA titles over the years, and it's great to finally see them arrive in FIFA 21.

Chelsea, Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester City art the lucky clubs to receive some throwback kits in-game.

Chelsea

We can see Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner lining up for Chelsea in this throwback kit.

This looks to be taken from the 1983-84 kit, which Chelsea won the Second Division title.

The kit has featured a few times in the FIFA series, but it will the first time you can use it on Next Gen consoles.

Here we can see Patrick Bamford and Jack Harrison celebrating another Bielsa goal at Elland Road.

This shirt is inspired by 1991-92 away kit, which saw Leeds win the first division, featuring sponsorship by the Yorkshire Evening post.

We believe it's the first time the Leeds kit has appeared in FIFA, celebrating their return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence.

EA roll out iconic Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish for this reveal, another kit that has appeared in previous FIFA titles.

This strip is from the 1981-82 season in which the Red won the First Division and League Cup under legendary manager Bob Paisley.

Liverpool will have their work cut out if they are to lift some silverware this season, with the Champions League their only hope.

We can see the entire Man City starting lineup getting ready for battle in an empty Etihad stadium, but we can't tell if this is pre-pandemic or not.

Like Leeds, City receive an away kit, with this being the strip they wore in the 1969 FA Cup Final, defeating Leicester City 1-0.

Well you can recreate the Sky Blues success this term by heading onto Career Mode and using tis kit should you wish.

The retro kits should be available to use in kick-off mode, and should then be available on any new Career Mode save.

The items have already been spotted in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

Perhaps EA has thrown these kits in to help celebrate theFUT Birthday promo arriving in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team this weekend.

We'll see players receive position changes and crazy stats boosts, and you can check out all the latest news by heading to our Countdown article.
