EREDIVISIE
One hundred and fifty-five Dutch club jerseys, and Ajax and Feyenoord do most of the work. Kappa's boxy nineties cuts sit next to Adidas from the 2000s and Puma from a decade later, with Van Persie, Sneijder and Suarez all appearing before they became the players most people remember them as.
More information
Ajax, from De Boer to De Jong
Ajax runs from a Frank de Boer 1998-99 home shirt through Sneijder's Adidas away kit to Frenkie de Jong's 2018-19 full kit, a club whose academy output shows up on shirt after shirt on this page. A Suarez 2008-09 home shirt from a season before his move to Liverpool and Uruguay stardom sits in the same run, alongside an Ibrahimovic away shirt from 2001-02, another name Ajax developed and sold on early. Chivu's 2000-01 home shirt in number 5 fills out the defensive side of that same generation, a reminder that Ajax's academy years produced more than just the attacking talent the club is usually remembered for.
Feyenoord, the deepest single run
Feyenoord holds the largest stock on this page, including a Van Persie home shirt from 2002-03 and a Wijnaldum shirt from 2010-11, plus training and goalkeeper shirts that rarely survive in this condition. A Zoetebier goalkeeper jersey and a Van Hooijdonk third shirt round out a club whose kit history is unusually well represented here in Kappa's yellow-and-black era. Makaay and Tomasson both appear too, two strikers who each spent only a few seasons at the club before moving on to bigger leagues, their shirts among the harder pieces on this page to find in this condition.
PSV and the rest of the Eredivisie
PSV's stock includes a Van Nistelrooy shirt from 1998-99, the season before his move to Manchester United, while Vitesse and RKC Waalwijk round out the smaller Dutch clubs that make it onto this page, both in Uhlsport and Diadora kits from the mid-to-late nineties that rarely turn up outside the Netherlands, exactly the kind of provincial club stock that tends to get overlooked next to the three big Eredivisie names.
Where these players go from here
Several of the names above have their own page in dutch heroes, which follows a player across every club and country he wore a shirt for rather than stopping at the Eredivisie. The Netherlands national kit sits alongside it as the other half of most Dutch collectors' interest, and a search for "1998" or "2010-11" on either page tends to surface a specific season faster than browsing club by club.
Condition on shirts that saw real use
Dutch club shirts from this era were often training and matchday pieces rather than retail-only prints, so condition varies more than on a shop shirt, and each listing states exactly what it is, down to whether it's a training, goalkeeper or full kit piece. A training shirt that saw a season of actual use will carry different wear than a retail shirt kept folded in a drawer, and the photos on each listing are there to show that difference rather than hide it.
Good to know
- Which Dutch clubs are covered?
- Ajax and Feyenoord carry the most depth, with PSV, Vitesse and RKC Waalwijk making up the rest of the page.
- Are training and goalkeeper shirts included?
- Yes, and each listing states exactly what type of shirt it is, since these saw different use and wear than a standard retail shirt.
- Is there a page for Dutch players across all their clubs?
- Yes, dutch heroes follows players like Van Persie, Robben and Sneijder across every club and country, not only their Eredivisie years.
- How does Dutch club sizing compare to English sizing?
- It varies by manufacturer and decade, which is why every listing gives pit to pit and top to bottom measurements rather than relying on the label.
- What are the shipping costs?
- Shipping is free within the Netherlands and Belgium from 100 euros, and worldwide from 150 euros. Every order ships with track and trace.
