Dolce & Gabbana has designed the on-field attire for AC Milan since 2004.[41] In addition to having their on-field uniforms designed by Dolce & Gabbana, the players of AC Milan also dress in team-issued Dolce & Gabbana attire when at official functions off the field.[42] The duo also designed the off-field suits for the Italian National Football Team.[43] In 2010 Dolce & Gabbana signed a three-year deal with the Chelsea Football Club to design and provide the club's on- and off-field uniforms and attire. The deal included the creation of clothing for female staff members in addition to male staff members and the players themselves. The off-field outfits designed for the club included a dark blue suit featuring the lion symbol on the breast pocket. The designers also re-designed the club's director's lounge and main office reception area.[44] Dolce & Gabbana are also the named sponsors of the Milano Thunder Italian Boxing Team.[45]
