Classic Football Shirts Coupons & Offers - February 2026

It all started in the summer of 2006. We should have been revising for our final exams but with the World Cup on the horizon we had other priorities, namely searching for an original 1990 West Germany shirt. Growing up we'd both obsessed over collecting new kits, but to our surprise sourcing a classic proved difficult and left us wondering how many others with a taste for nostalgia had been down a similar path. In that moment Classic Football Shirts was born. Our aim was simple, we wanted create a destination for fans to buy rare and unique football shirts and explore the history of their favourite teams and players. In the months that followed, ignoring all advice to go and get a ‘real job’ we set about buying as much stock as possible filling up a dingy student house with rails of shirts and eventually in August 2006 launched the website. With no social media to attract interest we initially struggled to gain momentum, getting just enough money together for adverts in a couple of popular football magazines. But thankfully it worked, helping us to find some loyal and enthusiastic customers, without whom we’d have likely failed. Our days were spent relentlessly buying new stock, with a growing ambition to have a least one item for every recognised team, however obscure.
