Starting is easy. Stopping isn't! 😁
this can be refrenced to many things in life.....
I know the feeling, I only collect QPR shirts in Medium from 2008 to current originally had around 6 shirts now I have 30 within a year. Thankfully I’ve only got a certain amount to collect and I have a limit.
@Stephan Allen - So true, my friend. And in my case, that being a fact made even more ‘egregious’ to my ‘better half’ due to the fact that I have never once worn any of the 80 or so footie shirts I currently own either. 🤪
I Agree 😭
Never heard such true words spoken in the comments section of youtube! 💯 😂😂
On storing my shirts (I’m at over 200 now) -
I use colored plastic hangers. Never use wire hangers, the metal can rust and stain the shirt and the thin wire can create a crease.
I organize the shirts by type. National, UK, US, League, etc. Each type has a different color hanger. White, Black, Purple, Lavender, Pink, Lime Silver, Orange (for fakes), etc. This makes it easier to find a shirt when I’m digging through the closet(s).
Each hanger gets a label (or more) from a labelmaker listing the Season, Team (Home, Away, Third), League, and Player name and number (if there is one). For shirts that I paid a lot for, I also attach a large envelope to the hanger with a name badge clip. Inside the envelope any pertinent info on the shirt such as cost, player info, Certificate of Authenticity. Or if the shirt is team signed, a list of the players who signed it.
I also keep an inventory on my tablet, sync’d to my desktop, to try to avoid purchasing duplicates (doesn’t always work as planned).
How much did you spent on the hangers?
@@bert9554 I used to get them for $8 / dozen or $45 / 72ct . But the retailer discontinued them during the pandemic, IDK if the manufacturer shut down or if it was a retail decision. I’ve been looking for an alternate source, but so far no luck. I’m hoping, without hope, that the retailer will stock them again soon. I was buying them as needed, I should have stocked up 😞
BTW - A year later, I’m now at over 300 shirts. I’m almost out of hangers, and will have to come up with a new plan soon.
Pro tip: never, EVER dry your shirts in the dryer. Always hang dry 😉
Why
@@ndino0238 drying your shirts in a dryer will damage anything that’s plastic on your shirt (plastic sponsors, badges, name set, manufacturer’s tags, etc.). It’s very common to see shirts with cracked/faded sponsors and or name sets because this.
Yeah tumble machines ruin the sponsors
100% agree, those front sponsors will peeled off after wearing 10x
@@smoothoperator5753 ohh ok thanks 👍
I collect, but my rules are: The kit needs to have all of the patches (ex. PL Logo, EFL Logo), needs to be a name on the back (player) and the player has to be an unusual one. So ex my Liverpool-kit has Matip on the back. AND the most important thing: I need to buy the kit in the stadium, or supporter shop before or after I have watched a game at the stadium.
That always helps to give them a story or added memories
My rules are rather simple, as well. No player names/numbers. That rule went the way of the Dodo bird once I turned say, about 15 years old. Love me some patches though, so the more the better, I always say. Whenever possible, I prefer shirts w/out sponsors, as well. Lastly, after getting burned buying a few shirts at local thrift shops here in Toronto-Canada (which unfortunately turned out to be fake replicas) unless a very hard to find & rare *AC Milan* shows up on eBay, every once in a blue moon, I will only buy my personal “grails” from *Classic Football Shirts* from now on.
i live in india here so i love your rules but i wish i could do them
Mine didn't have patches because I found out from my fellow costumers that the patches gets easily remove so I decided to buy the one that doesn't have any patches.
@@why-why-whywhywhy My rules is opposite of yours. Mine always have the number and name and custom names are welcome too especially if it's my name and my birthdate. I plan to buy a personalised Barcelona shirt next year since that's my favourite team. I don't like the ones that have no numbers and names because that's lame for me.
I really appreciate and respect how passionate you are about trying to help people be smart with their money. You're a good lad, ye
Away days is the best Futbol Shirt Channel out here ❗️

🤝🤝🤝
Agreed 🙏🏻
True that. This is the best voetbal shirt channel out here, indeed. ⚽️
@@oisincox6562 I’m Hispanic i say Futbol
Great vid Ellis, really informative and will help loads of people with starting and defining their collections!
For me at the moment
1. Shirt a month
2. Limit £100 a month
3. Mid 90’s club shirts
Get a target , keep scouring for best price
I got to DHgate and on average buy a shirt some months, other times I don’t
100 quid a month would be able to buy you something so good, if you saved that up
I go to DHgate for half of mine to make up for the cost
@TheTyroofToriyama Dhgates are fake , and they are selling it illegally
@@Bright_Birds The prem shirts are sold on fake hype, quality and inflation.
Both shirts look the same, one of them helps out a small seller, the other drains your balance so billionaires can be richer
Think I’ll stick to DHgate. United don’t deserve my money anyway
i think he knows. @@Bright_Birds
I started collecting signed shirts because of this channel!! Currently I have:
Cristiano Ronaldo(Madrid)
Messi(Barcelona)
Roberto Carlos(Madrid)
Gareth Bale(Madrid)
Joe Cole(West Ham)
Defoe(Portsmouth)
Rio Ferdinand(Man U)
Scholes(Man U)
Giggs(Man U)
Also got a Kane and Gascoigne signed White Hart Lane street sign :D.
wow
how did you find them
@@thatisacontrollerplayer2773 Mostly through dedicated Facebook groups or ebay :). I only buy ones with either photo proof, or some sort of official authentication like Becketts or JSA because there's so many fakes out there
Finally have a shirt from the background! Ajax away arrived this week. Great vid as always mate
Love that!
Great video Ellis as per! One thing I will add is regarding the fake shirts.
Personally, I don’t wear any of mine out and have purchased a couple of re-makes to wear out and about.
To the common eye, no one will notice and can keep the authentic ones in top condition 👌
Replace FOMO (the fear of missing out) with JOMO (the joy of missing out) when collecting.
Yeah appreciate what shirts you can get over ones you can’t currently
Started collecting shirts in may 2020 im currently on 9 shirts,when I have extra money I buy a shirt that I like.Set my budget for 60$ a shirt and Im happy with my collection so far hope when I get a job I can spend more.Great video as always greetings from Croatia my bro
I just collect shirts whose designs I like, mostly national e.g. Japan and Mexico. But have been making it a practice over the past year to collect club shirts when I visit overseas countries/cities. That really makes the trips more fun and looking at these shirts brings back memories. So the past year I have been to Vietnam, Singapore and am heading to Indonesia in a few days 😬
Looking to start collecting lower EFL and non-league shirts with unique designs 😁. Excited!
0:21 thank God you said was just about to leave!
It's tough to find a 2014/15 Hull City Home shirt with Meyler on the back, much harder in Canada. They were the first team I really supported club wise, and I'm looking to get some Hull shirts in my collection.
I get all my shirts at eBay, always check there.
Great video as ever Mr Platten from one half of Forbidden Football Shirts 🤫 👏🏻
Another cracking video Ellis!
I’ve been wanting to collect but im a college student and vintage shirts are hard to find for good quality at cheap prices lol but I’ll buy some some day! I really enjoy ur videos and how chill and relatable you come off. Great attitude and ur videos are a vibe. I work at a bargain store so occasionally I’ve gotten some good football shirts but I already regret getting some cause I don’t appreciate them as much. I learn and a move👍🏼
And if anyone knows of decently priced vintage wales, mexico, Italy, chelsea, or Swansea shirts lemme know! Or just umbro! Umbro is my favorite brand
Love this best football related channel I think
Brilliant channel atm mate 👍
I've started collecting kits last year, now I have almost 30+ kits in me. My latest find is a Fluminense 2013 away kit, which I bought for PHP199 (about £3).
I go to second hand stores (called ukay-ukay stores here in the Philippines) to buy kits. For now, I'm collecting old shirts but will plan to buy newer ones once I get a steadier job.
Unfortunately, I ruined some of the shirt sponsors because we use an automatic washing machine (I live with a cousin rn). I reallly regret putting it on the dryer, and hopefully will do the washing myself soon.
Starting a collection can be fun, but it really takes right financial discipline and passion to do it. Thank you for the inspiraton and advice on maintaining a kit collection.
Great story at the start so inspirational👏😥
I only collect shirts that have meaning to me. Either clubs I’ve been to, the clubs I’m a fan of or places I’ve been to on holiday.
Sameeee
I find if you decide what you want to collect specifically it definitely stops the FOMO or spur of the moment buys just because it is a good deal.
On top of that the kit community on twitter are incredible, for checking authenticity, spotting deals and general chat.
I think a big thing there is, buying what you like, not what everyone else likes. Example, everyone went mad for the Bob Marley Ajax shirt but I preferred the blue striped away kit
I’ve started a collection with Celtic retro tops, going to try purchase as many as possible good keep sake as it’s my club 💚
I always get my shirts from Classic Football Shirts so I know I'm not getting scammed with a fake shirt. It might not be the cheapest option but it saves on the thought of "is this shirt fake"
This is a very helpful video for myself as a starting out football shirt collector though
All the sites in this video sell legit shirts :)
@@awaydaysfootball 😀
Some good tips , good video 👍Just bought a retro Dundee fc from late 60s on the Toffs site hoping its a quality item.
Love your videos. I already had a good amount of shirts before, but I started to actually collect football shirt because of you. It is just a shame that the football shirt market in Portugal is so small compared to the uk...
same here in spain, the only football shop here in my city closed months ago due to covid..
@@javirguez9625 and with brexit, buying shirts from the uk is a lot more expensive unfortunately
Podes crer, deparo-me com o mesmo problema. Se tiveres interesse tenho algumas camisolas para vender, se quiseres posso mandar-te algumas fotos. Adiciona-me no insta @pedrojpaulo
@@pedrolia1998canal ok, posso dar uma olhada
@@pedrolia1998canal já mandei pedido
Great Video for me I started collecting Shirts in December 🤝
Didnt think this would be my new favorite channel
🤝🤝🤝
Always has, always will be
4:40 the smoothness 😂 😍
I don’t think I can be called a collector. Most of my shirts were given to me a couple of years ago, not necessarily in the best condition beforehand. I’m not looking to sell the shirts anyway, but this video helps me out a lot, so thanks!
Doesn’t matter the condition, more about the stories and memories
I started collecting this year from black or dark jerseys like 20/21 ADIDAS Germany Away Jersey or Galatasaray 21/22black away jersey with a yellow-red chest band. NEXT: Venezia. I love these.
Favourite video so far
In April 2021 it will be 10 years since I started collecting shirts, now I'm at 235 and I buy whatever I like (especially from trips and holidays) with a yearly pick up of AC Milan's home shirt because it's my team
Amazing!
@@awaydaysfootball Ellis you not sticking to your own code. Your blowing your money on too many options. Vintage shirts, New shirts, Third Shirts, Nation shirts, club shirts, Vintage jumpers, Vintage t-shirts. Your never going to get to the finish line or have enough space for your collection. P.S i would hand wash the vintage shirts you paid big bucks for and worked so hard to get. Just incase a mishap in washing machine you will regret it. One of my rules no football shirts with names and number on. Why? One because when that players leaves your club does the dirty so to speak is not the same. Value and selling factor. Number and letters can get damaged wear and tear through washing and look shoddy. No name on shirt more people will want to buy if you decide to sell. Just easier to sell in my opinion they look better without i think it spoils a shirt especially if vintage. Last thing ONLY buy shirts no matter how rare or how much you want to own them in a size you can wear. So in your case medium/large mens only. A shirt you can wear after all that what football shirts are all about. Better to have the choice than not. Only pick up a smaller or large size if you can make money on it. Don't buy just for the sake of it. Maybe your taste's will change in time but its about quality now not quantity and I'm sure jody will agree :)
This season has definitely been rough on me. So wait y’all the Roma away was one I wanted it sold out. Due to this FOMO hit me hard and I bought a bunch of kits which inevitably went on sale. I spent way more than I should have. I now have 2 CA America third jerseys. That Roma jersey came back and I got it for half the price so yes definitely wait.
thank you for this video! i know it’s a year old but i found a proper wolves top for £4 and it’s not even an old shirt aswell, absolute bargain 👍
thanks for the shoutout amigo! love from OZ!!!!
Love the vid Ellis I collect jerseys from my local area (Lincolnshire), got some really nice classics and also some great clean modern kits! As well as this I like to get myself template kits from the 90's, the designs are incredible and they just don't make them like that anymore!
Keep up the great work with your footballing journey
It was your shirt hunting videos that got me started with my collection😁
Love that!
Good old days of Away Days
Love the content
I love how on the people that can help you on twitter theres a comment with piers morgan 😂
Just recently started collecting. My addiction started when I got an Maroon Arsenal Highbury shirt from 2006 during the final year of that stadium so I ended up collection all their shirts from that collection, even the GK shirts. Right now my holy grail is a 1994 USA shirt. That ugly denim looking one I adore it. My “collection” is up to about 13 currently. But my bank account told me to slow down.
Hello mate nice video. I only collect shirts from one club and I have 8 of them so far, I possibly will start to collect other club’s shirt in the future as there’s not much shirts I can collect from that club I loved anymore
love the austria kit ❤️🤍❤️
For new shirts the go to places are kitbag, subside sports and the official manufacturing site (nike, adidas)
Always wanted to collect shirts from foreign clubs and thanks to your clips I started. Spent only 70 euro in total on a Fenerbahce shirt 04/05, man united 16, real madrid and barca both 2016 and the 2019 aberdeen home shirt. All replica but official fanshop quality. Dont have a collecter goal yet, but my strategy is to buy for the lowest prices possible. Which is quite hard by the way. But extremely fun
do you looking for shirts in bulk for 10-20 pounds each? i have around 300 shirts now for sell hah
Hi Ellis, do you recommend any websites outside UK, for those living in the EU that don't like to pay VAT and additional taxes? Thanks
Video I needed
Ellis when he tells us where to get shirts from knowing he sponsors shirt selling companies: *STONKS* 😂😂
Jk, loved the vid tho
Probably got between 100-150 shirts, will collect anything but most obsessed with my match worn Scunthorpe shirts. Don't know if anybody else will get excited about a match worn Joe Murphy goalkeeper kit from the mid-2000s but it's my pride and joy.
I've got 2 autographed Scunthorpe shirts of players that went on to play for my team: Sheffield United
followed your advice. just ordered the Aston Villa 21/22 home shirt and away shirt for £35
Frome where you have the Dortmund Sweatshirt? Absolutely love it!
I´ve started my collection about three years ago and have a little more than 110 shirts by now, athough some of them are fake. But I don´t mind that to be honest. It´s just fun to collect!
In regards to washing shirts: the coldest setting is key but i would add avoid putting them in the dryer.
I know its 1 yr old, but i have just started collecting, and i have about 21 shirts and many of them are retro frankfurt shirts and couple of newer ones and the others are some shirts i have got as gift. I have one signed shirt, its Kostic's shirt.
i have been collecting retro football shirts. i have around 500 shirts, most of them retro and for yong guy the biggest problem is price. i spend all my money on retro shirts, sometimes i tell to someone that i will buy one shirt although i havent any money at that moment. Maybe in the future it will be better but now i am happy that i have for example leeds 83, poland matchworn 90, man utd 90, germany 90 and lots of other retro
I've got 15 man utd kits, about to get all f this seasons kit, and looking at getting loads of retro kits aswel hopefully have 25 by the end of the year
Do you have a player on the other side of that Dortmund kit?
Ive had 1 holy grail shirt for years.. and you wore it for the first part of the video lol
Couple questions. How do you actually find a shirt that you want to get? Like Ellis has shirts of teams I dont even know. How does he find them. Also how do you decide on your Holy Grail shirts. Also is their shirts that are bad if you like them.
Hi Ellis! Good video but I have a question. Do Macron shirt have this code or not? Thanks if you answer!
I’ve been collecting for a while but the only international jersey I collect is from Guatemala but it’s so hard to find authentic jerseys especially the older ones,
Ik this is of topic but when footy comes back You need to go to a Mansfield town match at field mill (now called one call stadium)!!
I started recently im only collecting new shirts its easier for me just look at the shirts each season and buy the ones i like the most like im a villa fan so ive got all 3 this season and now ive ordered the man u third and chelsea third shirt its within my limit of 200£ a month and im only buying from reputable stores (jd, the clubs shop etc) maybe ill start buying older shirts but none older than 2005 dont like the design of old shirts
Btw, does anyone know good stores online that are located in the EU (or in Portugal if it is an actual store) to buy cheaper football shirts?
m and m direct, sportspar, classicfootballshirts are all pretty good
Can you put the links for all the sites for classic shirts you recommend buying from please
Although more expensive, is it best to buy directly from the clubs website? That way I know it’s proper
4:04 who tagged Piers Morgan ffs 😂
😂😂
haha guilty....
Hey Ellis could you make a video showing your whole collection? Cheers
An updated version is a NEED
Can't believe I didn't make that list!😆
bangerrrr
i have 3 of the four kits in the back.
Me 🤝 Ellis
Having good taste
🤝🤝🤝
Which one do you not have?
@@liamjohnston1792 borussia dortmund
@AwayDays can u go to the women's euros this year in the summer? It's a home Euros
I'm a great collector of shirts. I have a bit of retros with a Roma's shirt of 1987/1988 season and new one. I have some fake like Cienciano or Alianza Lima, but for the simple fact that in my travel in Perù I didn't had the opportunity to buy them original and some other Peruvian websites ask your personal information like Walon( a Peruvian shirt producer). I have also one from Myanmar from Warrix(Thailandese shirt producer) , but the code is wrote in Burmese so I can't understand it all.
Hi Ellis. I’m 11 and I’m looking to buy some retro shirts either new or used but wonder if you have a good website that does kids shirts to recommend?????
For anyone that wants to spice it up a bit mystery shirt boxes is a good way to get random shirt into your collection!
I'm collecting one one jersey of the club that I love from every leagues in the wrld.
But last season’s Nike vapor kit always out of stock. Not possible to find one from major online and offline outlets now
So when had washing cold or hot water ?
Do you mainly collect vapor or replica shirts?
A great tip is find a friend or family member who has UNiDAYS and can send u a Nike or adidas code etc and use that as well at the end of the season... I got a CR7 2019 third shirt from adidas men’s medium for £30 this way!!
For those in the us, is the farmers market a good place to buy jerseys?
I hand wash my shirts in cold water with a hand washing liquid I also gently wash around the sponsor arm patches as over time they can become loose that's my tip 🚜🚜🚜🚜👍👍👍
Love that!
class
I just started with PSG and Inter Milan Home and now getting 2 custom Lyonnaise Jerseys 🤤
another tip when finding fakes is if they dont have their kit makers logo on the kit
My two holy grails, Sweden 94 home shirt, Manchester United 2008 shirt with Nani or Ronaldo on the back
Both greats!
Is Unisport alright to buy jerseys from?
Where did you buy that gamba osaka sweatshirt? 🤩
Grailed!! :)
Ellis I think the best way to
Start a collection is to break into your place and borrow your collection!!! Lol
People enjoy the hobby don't take it to serious!!
Go on the boys!
😂😂😂
Do you know Cult kits? If yes is it any good because it wasnt in your list
Is that photo of you on the kit mountain real? i need to know
How do I get that Dortmund sweatshirt at 2:38
I only collect jerseys to replace my boring and dull regular t shirts, not gonna sell them btw. I only collect home jersey because they're very awesome to me. So far I only have 1 jersey and that's Messi's Argentina jersey from 2022 World Cup. Also it doesn't have to be a player version since they're expensive and football isn't popular in my country so they wouldn't even tell the differences between fake and real. Also who would even order from a store with 4 week delivery, that's way too long, an overseas order from Shopee isn't longer than 12 days, that's where I brought my jersey.
where can i find a place to buy that beautiful retro PSG shirt you were wearing?
They crop up fairly often on most classic shirt websites but they're very expensive. Usually over £200
Where did u buy the as roma shirt
I started mine with my favourite players shirt its a Daniel Agger shirt from the 12-13 season
And from there it's taken off😂
