Shop authentic and original Sunderland AFC football shirts / soccer jerseys from the 80's, 90's, 00's up to the present day.
The club was founded in 1879 and has a long and proud history, having won six First Division titles and two FA Cups. Sunderland's home ground is the Stadium of Light, which has a capacity of 49,000. The club's nickname is the Black Cats.
Throughout its history, Sunderland has had a number of successful managers, including Bob Stokoe, who led the club to a shock victory over Leeds United in the 1973 FA Cup final. Another successful manager was Peter Reid, who guided the club to a 7th place finish in the Premier League and helped to establish them as a top-flight team.
Sunderland has been home to a number of talented players over the years, including Kevin Phillips, who won the European Golden Shoe, scoring 30 goals in the 1999/00 season, and Jordan Henderson, who went on to play for Liverpool and the England national team. Other notable players include Niall Quinn and Julio Arca, who were both instrumental in the club's success in the early 2000s.
At the start of 2022, Alex Neil, a former head coach of Norwich City, was brought in as the new manager following the dismissal of Lee Johnson. This change came after a devastating 6-0 loss to Bolton in January. Under Neil's leadership, the team was able to secure a fifth-place finish in League One, which qualified them for the playoffs. In the semi-final rounds, they successfully defeated Sheffield Wednesday with a 2-1 aggregate victory. The team then went on to secure their return to the second tier of English football by defeating Wycombe Wanderers with a 2-0 win in the final. This marked the end of four seasons spent in League One for Sunderland.
Sunderland shirts have been manufactured by a number of major brands including Adidas, Umbro, and Diadora. The team's shirts are currently produced by Nike. The club's home shirt is traditionally red and white striped, while the away shirt is predominantly black or blue.
