What is the difference between this collection and match shirts?

These are jackets, coats and tracksuits worn for travel, warm-ups and the bench rather than the match itself, made in far smaller numbers than home or away shirts.

Why do complete tracksuits count as rarer finds?

A tracksuit only survives as a genuine set if the top and bottoms stay together over the years, which happens less often than a single item surviving on its own.

Which decades does this collection span?

From Dortmund's 1994-95 training jacket through to a 2020-21 Manchester United jacket, close to three decades of club outerwear.

Shipping is free within the Netherlands and Belgium from 100 euros, and worldwide from 150 euros. Everything ships with track and trace.

JACKETS & TRACKSUITS

Jackets and tracksuits sat even further from the shop rail than training shirts, worn mostly for travel, warm-ups and matchday arrivals rather than anything a supporter could buy off a shelf at the time.

More information

Outerwear from the training ground and the bench

A club's jacket or tracksuit was squad kit in the truest sense: issued to players and staff for travel days, warm-ups and the walk out before kick-off, rarely produced in the volumes that home and away shirts were. That is why pieces like AC Milan's 1993-94 training jacket and PSG's 2012-13 training jacket carry so little branding compared with the match shirt from the same season, built for function on a cold afternoon rather than for retail display.

A spread of clubs across three decades

The range here runs from Dortmund's 1994-95 training jacket through to Manchester United's 2020-21 Teamgeist jacket, with Ajax appearing three separate times across the 1990s in different training jacket designs. Feyenoord's 1998-99 coat and Toulouse's 1996-97 jacket sit at the more unusual end, both pieces that rarely turn up outside a collection built specifically around this category rather than around one club or season.

Tracksuits as a matched set

Full tracksuits, rather than a single jacket, appear from AS Monaco's 2009-10 season still with tags attached, Lyon's 2009-10 kit and Germany's 2012-13 national team tracksuit. Because a tracksuit only stays intact as a set if both the top and bottoms survive together, a complete example like these is a rarer find than a jacket or training top on its own, even when both come from the same original wardrobe.
