What Types of Football Shirts Does The Vault Sell?Updated 11 hours ago

At The Vault, we offer a wide range of football shirts for collectors, fans and enthusiasts. Whether you are looking for a shirt to wear, display or add to a serious collection, it helps to understand the differences between each type.

Below is a breakdown of the main football shirt categories we stock.

Official & Original Shirts

These are the most popular shirts on our website and the fan favourite for everyday wear. Official & Original shirts are fully licensed football shirts manufactured by major sports brands such as Adidas, Nike, Puma and others for a specific club or national team season.

They are designed to be durable, comfortable and wearable, making them ideal for match days, casual use or collecting official club shirts.

Pro Version Shirts

Pro Version shirts are our premium performance range. These may also be referred to as Authentic, Pro or Player Version shirts depending on the brand.

They are made with advanced fabric technology, a lighter construction and a closer athletic fit. These shirts are created with on-pitch performance in mind, making them ideal for serious collectors or customers who want the closest version to what players wear.

Because they are built for performance, they are often less suited to long-term regular wear than standard fan versions.

Player Issue & Match Worn Shirts

These are among the rarest and most desirable shirts we sell. Player Issue and Match Worn shirts are authentic shirts prepared for or used by professional players in official matches or training environments.

These shirts may include unique features such as player-specific sizing, smaller sponsor marks to meet competition regulations, custom alterations or visible signs of use. For collectors, these are often considered the standout pieces in any football shirt collection.

Reissue Shirts

Reissue shirts are perfect for customers who want a retro football shirt in brand new condition. These are officially licensed reproductions of iconic designs from past seasons, either re-released by the original manufacturer or recreated under licence by specialist heritage brands.

While they stay true to the original look, reissue shirts are usually made using modern materials and updated fits. In some cases, small design details may differ from the original shirt due to current licensing restrictions.
