How much do retro reps shirts cost?
Every retro fan-version shirt is $14.06 — the same flat price as a current-season kit. That is the key reason reps dominate the retro market: a genuine 1998-99 Real Madrid shirt in wearable condition runs $150–$400+ on resale sites, and many classics are effectively unavailable in your size. At $14, you can build a collection instead of hunting one shirt.
Iconic player-name shirts
Some of the best retro kits carry the era-correct name and number printed in, not just a blank shirt. The 2005-06 Barcelona No.30 Messi and the 2006-07 AC Milan No.22 Kaká are two of the most requested — the exact shirts from those Champions League nights. If you want a different name and number, see our custom printing guide.
Player version vs fan version
For retro, most buyers choose fan version — looser and thicker, matching how these shirts were actually worn. Player version (slim, lightweight) exists for some kits if you want the on-pitch cut. The full breakdown is in our player vs fan version guide, and reps sizing versus EU/US is in the size guide.
