Frequently Asked Questions
PRODUCTS & AUTHENTICITY
Yes. Authenticity is at the heart of Pardon My Kicks. Every football shirt is carefully inspected before being offered for sale. We do not sell counterfeit football shirts.
Our collection includes original vintage shirts, modern shirts and, when available, player issue, match issued and match worn shirts.
Supporter shirts are commercially available versions made for supporters.
Player issue shirts are manufactured to specifications intended for professional players and can differ from supporter versions in materials, fit and construction.
Match issued shirts have been prepared or issued for a specific player or match but cannot necessarily be confirmed as having been worn.
Match worn shirts have been worn by a player during a match and, where applicable, are sold with information regarding their provenance.
Shirts may feature original or aftermarket namesets, sponsors and patches. Some vintage shirts may also have been modified or restored during their lifetime.
Where relevant, we aim to provide this information in the product description. If you would like to know more about the prints or patches on a specific shirt, please contact us before purchasing.
Several factors influence the value of a football shirt, including age, rarity, condition, size, player nameset, patches, season and historical significance.
Player issue, match issued and match worn shirts may also command higher prices because of their rarity and provenance. As most of our shirts are individually sourced, prices can vary even between shirts from the same season.
CONDITION & SIZING
Most of our vintage football shirts are pre-owned unless otherwise stated. Each product is individually inspected and its condition is described on the product page.
Signs of age and wear can naturally occur on vintage shirts. We recommend reviewing the product images and condition description carefully before purchasing.
We use a condition rating to provide an overall indication of each shirt's condition. The rating takes into account the fabric, badges, sponsors, namesets and other visible signs of wear.
As every vintage shirt is unique, we recommend using the condition rating together with the product photographs and description.
Sizing can vary significantly between brands, seasons and eras. A vintage size Large may therefore fit differently from a modern size Large.
Where measurements are provided, we recommend comparing them with a shirt you already own rather than relying solely on the size label.
ORDERS & AVAILABILITY
In many cases, yes. Unlike traditional retailers, we primarily source our football shirts individually. A specific combination of shirt, season, size, condition and player may therefore only be available once.
Once an item is sold, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to source another example.
Possibly, but there is no guarantee. Our inventory changes constantly as we source new shirts.
A shirt from the same club or season may become available again, but its size, condition, player or other details may differ.
