Is it the real deal?

Authenticity check

Doubting whether your football shirt from the 90s or 00s is original? Send us a message on Instagram with some photos and we'll tell you what we think.

How it works

  1. Take the photos

    Follow the list below. Sharp photos in natural light make all the difference.

  2. Send us a DM

    Message us on Instagram with your photos, the team and season, and where or when you got the shirt.

  3. Get our opinion

    We take a careful look and tell you honestly what we think, and why.

What to photograph

  • The front of the whole shirt
  • The back, including name and number if present
  • The neck label and size tag
  • The wash-care label, including any codes
  • Close-ups of the badge, logos and sponsor print
  • The stitching and seams on the inside
  • Any serial numbers, hologram tags or hangtags

Good to know

Our opinion is an informal assessment based on photos. It is not a certificate or a guarantee, and some shirts can't be judged with certainty from pictures alone.

We focus on shirts from the 90s and 00s. For other eras we'll tell you honestly if it's outside our expertise.
