Shop match worn shirts and match issued football kits to legends of the game and the biggest clubs in the world.

Match worn shirts and player issue football shirts are authentic shirts that have been worn by professional football players during matches or training. These shirts are typically made with higher quality materials and feature unique details such as the player's name and number on the back, woven material patterns, printed logos, slim fitting designs and the odd spot of mud from match action. They are often different from the replica shirts that are sold to fans, and they are considered to be more valuable due to their rarity and authenticity. Match worn shirts have been worn by the player in an official match, while Match Issued shirts are made to the same specification to the match worn shirts but have not been worn in a game. Player Issue shirts are created to the same specification as the match shirts but they have been manufactured for the fans. Player Issue and Authentic shirt examples include Adidas' Climacool or Nike's Vapourknit range. Collectors and fans can purchase these as a way to own a piece of the sport's history.
