If you love football and have a soft spot for history, you’re in the right place. At footballlegendskits.com, we sell football shirts, jackets, and sweatshirts with real history. Pieces from the 80s, 90s, and 00s, all original, handpicked one by one. Some are like new, others have that patina of having lived through real games. Here we explain how to choose, how to confirm authenticity, and how to care for your pieces.
It’s original: no replicas. Each piece is manually verified.
Honest condition: we describe wear, pulled threads, tags, and actual conditions.
Context: era, club, supplier, manufacturing details, and fabric technology.
Rarity: many are unique pieces. Once sold out, they’re gone.
Quick tip: If you see a shirt you love, don’t delay. Our inventory is short and rotates quickly.
Labels and tags: we check internal labels, typography, and manufacturing codes of the era.
Materials and applications: fabric feel, type of printing (flock, embroidery, felt), shine, and natural wear.
Plausible signs of aging: slight yellowing, microbubbles, peeling consistent with age.
Historical coherence: correct supplier by era and country, sponsorships compatible with the season.
If there’s any doubt, the piece doesn’t make it to the site. We’d rather lose a sale than lose trust.
How to know if a vintage football shirt is original
Define your focus: club, national team, favorite player, or decade.
Check the actual measurements: each product has measurements in the description. Sizes vary greatly between eras and brands.
Read the description carefully: we highlight any relevant condition details.
Decide the use: collecting, daily wear, training, or gifting. This helps choose between premium or more affordable pieces.
Affordable: recent shirts (2010–2020) and common pieces — ideal for daily use.
Collectibles: 80s and 90s, mainstream clubs (Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United) or iconic designs.
Rarities: hard-to-find editions, national teams, and significant eras — can reach higher values.
We measure each piece (chest, length, sleeves) and publish the measurements.
Real product photography: we don’t use “catalog” photos. What you see is what you get.
Condition notes: we classify between Excellent, Very Good, Good, and indicate signs of use when present.

Easy returns within the legal period. We want you to buy without fear.
Suggestion: create an account and save favorites. Unique pieces fly.
Are the shirts really original?
Yes. We curate piece by piece. If there’s any doubt about authenticity, we don’t publish.
Are the photos of the actual product?
They are. We photograph each shirt. Small color variations may occur due to different screens.
Do you sell outside Europe?
At this stage, no. We are focused on shipping to European countries.
How do I know my size?
Check the measurements on the product page and compare with one of your shirts. Between decades and brands, “M” can vary greatly.
Do you restock?
Usually not. Each item is unique. We suggest activating alerts and following us on Instagram.
Wash inside out, cold water, mild detergent.
Avoid dryer and iron directly on prints.
Store in a dry place, away from direct light. Protect patches and sponsorships.
Buying vintage extends the life of quality pieces and reduces waste. And it’s cooler than wearing the same drop as everyone else.
