How do you check they're genuine?
We hand-check every City shirt for fabric feel, correct labels and badge and sponsor detailing. We've been authenticating shirts for 10+ years, and every listing has detailed photos of the labels so you can check them yourself. Learn the signs in our guides on how to spot a fake football shirt and how to spot a fake Kappa shirt.

How do vintage Manchester City shirts fit compared to modern ones?
Umbro and Kappa City shirts from the 1990s are cut differently from modern shirts, so check the measurements rather than the label size. Every listing gives the shirt's size, and our size guide has measurements to compare with a shirt you already own.
Which manufacturers have made Manchester City shirts?
Umbro made City's shirts until 1997, then Kappa (1997–99), Le Coq Sportif (1999–2003), Reebok (2003–07), Le Coq Sportif again (2007–09), Umbro again (2009–13), Nike (2013–19) and Puma from 2019.
How much should I pay for a vintage Manchester City shirt?
Most original City shirts at FSC are listed at £50–£140, with a median of £80 (listed prices, September 2026). Kappa shirts from 1997–99 are listed at £80–£200, and Reebok shirts from 2003–04 at £50–£90.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide and have sent shirts to 81+ countries. We use Royal Mail, FedEx and DPD, with most UK orders going Royal Mail.
Do you ship vintage Manchester City jerseys to the US?

Can I return a shirt?
Yes. You can return a shirt within 14 days of purchase.
How should I wash and store a vintage Manchester City shirt?
Wash it cold, inside out and separately. On 1990s shirts, a hot wash can damage the Brother sponsor logo. Store rare shirts such as a Kappa home flat in a box or in a garment cover. More tips are in our guide to washing football shirts.
