Mint (10/10) - The best possible condition, still 10/10, but without the original tags.
Excellent (9/10) - The shirt is in excellent condition with only very minimal signs of wear. Any imperfections are extremely minor and difficult to notice unless closely inspected.
Great (8/10) - The shirt shows light signs of wear consistent with age. Minor imperfections may be present, such as small fabric pulls or very light marks, but nothing that affects the overall look.
Very good (7/10) - The shirt has been worn and shows noticeable signs of use. This may include light fading, small marks, or minor wear to badges, sponsors, or fabric.

Vintage football shirts from the 1990s and early 2000s often fit differently compared to modern sizes, and are usually slightly bigger. We’ve included a size guide per decade on the product page to help you know what to expect. If you’re still unsure about the fit, feel free to contact us for advice.
We announce all new drops on our Instagram and through our newsletter. Follow us on Instagram and subscribe to our newsletter to be the first to know when new vintage shirts become available.
If you want to preserve your vintage football shirt in the best possible way, we recommend washing it inside out on a cold, gentle cycle or hand washing only. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or use fabric softener. Always air dry naturally and never iron directly over prints or badges.
If you’re new to the world of football shirts, some terms used in our product titles may be unfamiliar. Below, we explain exactly what they mean:
Player issue: Also known as the “authentic version” by brands such as Adidas and Nike. Player issue shirts are made to the same specifications worn by players on the pitch, using more advanced, lightweight, and breathable materials than standard fan or stadium versions.
Match issue:The shirt was prepared by the club’s kit staff for a specific match but was not worn. Players are typically issued multiple shirts per match (for example: a main shirt, a backup, or a long-sleeve version). Unused shirts are sometimes removed from the dressing room and later sold.
Match worn: The shirt has been worn by the player during an official match. These items may show signs of use, such as stains or damage, which add to their authenticity and uniqueness.
L/S: The shirt features long sleeves.
BNWT: The shirt is brand new, unworn, and still has its original tags attached.
Flock Print: A soft, thicker material commonly used for names and numbers on older football shirts, especially during the 1990s. A well-known example is the official Premier League numbers used between 1997 and 2007.
Nameset: The name and number printed on the back of the shirt. Namesets can vary by season, competition, and manufacturer.

Yes. If you’d like a shirt from our website printed with a specific player name or number, feel free to contact us to discuss the options. Availability depends on the shirt and printing type, and not all shirts are suitable for printing.
Due to the vintage nature of our products, most items are one-of-a-kind and won’t be restocked. Once a shirt is sold, it’s unlikely to return, so we recommend not waiting too long.
