{"title":"FC Groningen","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003eFC Groningen have worn green as their primary colour since their formation, and the consistency of that identity across decades makes their shirts immediately recognisable to anyone familiar with Dutch football. The FC Groningen football shirt sits at the more affordable end of the Eredivisie collector market, which makes it an accessible entry point for collectors building a broader picture of Dutch club football. The Puma-supplied shirts in this collection span the 2018 to 2025 period, covering both match shirts and training pieces, and reflect a club that has maintained a stable visual identity through various sponsorship changes while staying in the upper half of Dutch football.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePuma templates and the sponsors that mark each era\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003eThe home shirts from 2018\/19 use the Puma template with the Payt sponsor, a Dutch payment company whose tick logo in red sits prominently on the green and white vertical stripe. The dark away shirt from 2019\/20 carries the Office Centre sponsor on a black and green stripe Puma template, a sharper contrast to the traditional home colours. The Univé-sponsored training shirt represents an earlier regional insurance company partnership that Groningen maintained for several years. Each sponsor acts as a timestamp for collectors who know the club well, and the Puma badge is consistent across all pieces, giving the collection a coherent manufacturer thread even across different seasons and shirt types.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTraining shirts as collector pieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003eThree of the shirts in this collection are training pieces rather than match shirts, which is less common in vintage collecting but worth understanding. Groningen training shirts from the 2019\/20 and 2024\/25 seasons follow the same green identity as the match shirts and carry the same sponsors. For collectors interested in a complete club wardrobe rather than match shirts only, training pieces offer a lower-price entry point into specific eras. The 2024\/25 training shirt with the Nog Clean Fuels sponsor is particularly recent, representing the current version of the club's identity. Condition varies across the training pieces and is noted on each individual listing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCollecting smaller Eredivisie clubs and why it makes sense\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003eFC Groningen shirts are produced in smaller volumes than those from the major Dutch clubs, which means authentic pieces from specific seasons become harder to source over time.
