The place for a beautiful jersey from the past

Ordered several shirts and in one word fantastic, good quality and a wide choice of many shirts from the past. Quick response on Instagram to requests for a shirt (Jamaica away 1998), which was posted in the webshop the same day.

The Shirt Plugs is the place for anyone looking for beautiful shirts from the rich football history!

Waited a couple of weeks for a football shirt which I ordered 2XL to arrive. I was quite excited to receive only for it to be way too small. My son tried it on and he’s a large and it just about fitted him. To say I’m unhappy is an understatement, and unfortunately for me they don’t do a bigger size.

Reply from The Shirt Plugs

Hi Kevin,

We’re sorry to hear you’re unhappy with the fit of your shirt. We take sizing very seriously, which is why our size chart is extremely detailed. It includes both exact shirt measurements (length/width) and a height-based guide to help ensure the best fit possible. When followed, this chart will give you the correct size.

It’s also important to note that these are retro football shirts, designed to be worn by players in the 1980s and 1990s. They do not fit like a regular T-shirt or modern fan jerseys. They were originally made for players on the pitch, and the sizing reflects how manufacturers produced them at the time. This authentic sizing and fit is part of what makes retro shirts unique, but it can feel different if you’re used to modern football shirts made for the fans.

We understand fit can be tricky with vintage-style apparel, which is why we always recommend carefully checking our measurements before ordering. Our team is also available through our chat support, who can suggest the best size for you based on your measurements for any future orders.

Smaller than expected

Loads of choice especially if like me you love Serie A shirts from the 1990s. Good quality and delivery communication but MUCH smaller than expected - go 1 or 2 sizes up at least.
The reason I say this is bought a Roma 1992/93 Away shirt from Shirt Plugs and it was way too small. I do have the Roma 1992/93 Home - direct from Adidas - and that fits perfectly.

Amazing Customer Service

Great value for the shirts! I got on the 3 for 30% off deal and a free windbreaker which was excellent. The team at Shirt Plugs were super accommodating as I needed to size up, as per their recommendation, and helped me change the sizing after I placed my order. And threw in the windbreaker. When it came to tracking the shipping to the US, they were very on to it communicating with me on where and when things would arrive. All in a great experience! Will shop again!
Thanks!

No better place to get your retro football tops! I picked up three in the 3-for-2 deal, and the quality of each one was incredible. One was for my brother, an AC Milan shirt as growing up we were always AC vs Inter on football games. I also requested an Adriano #10 shirt from that era, and The Shirt Plugs managed to source it for me. A perfect bit of nostalgia for me and my brother, bringing back great memories (and a few wins on FIFA). They always have fantastic shirts in stock, and I’ve no doubt I’ll be adding more to my collection soon!

Would recommend!

I ordered 5 shirts. They arrived in 2,5 weeks (like they communicated before). Quality of the shirts and (name) printing is good. Their customer service is also great; I had a few questions and all were answered in less then 24hr. Would recommend.

I ordered 3 italian kits from the 90s and they arrived in excellent condition. I would recommend paying attention to the size advice, I would normally buy a medium but the size recommended to by a size up as they are quite slim fitting and they all fit perfectly.

Confused

Hi, I’m very impressed with the shirts you have available but trying to get hold of someone is so hard I put my order in 7 days ago and have had no response to any emails sent or confirmations?

Spoiled for choices 😉

The website has a really big variety of shirts, from retro to recent to special. I received my first jersey as a gift from my best friend. The quality is amazing and the options are endless. I will definitely suggest this website to other friends and for sure I will buy more !!
