"The fashion, maybe not. But practicality, it makes sense.
"Yea, I like it," he responded when he was showed Ghana's 94 jersey. "It's tie and die kind. I like it and it will be interesting to see if a team can wear that now," he continued.

He then reacted to Ivory Coast's 1997 jersey, where he felt the colours were too much.

"It's a lot of colours, a lot of vibes. The colour contrast and I like the fact that it's very colourful though.
"That's kind of a standard," said Chiwell after seeing the Nigerian jersey. "I mean if you look at the Nigeria kit from the World Cup, kind of similar, a little more modern now. A typical Nigeria kit.

He picked Zambia's 1996 jersey as his favourite and insists he sees himself wearing that one.

Ben Chiwell joined Chelsea in 2020 and has since been an important part of the Blues.
