Authenticity Verification
In today’s football shirt market, counterfeit shirts are everywhere. At first, a fake shirt can seem like the cheaper option, but the difference usually becomes clear very quickly. The fabric often feels different, the fit is not quite right, details are missing or poorly finished, and the quality can drop noticeably after only a few washes.
For collectors and football shirt fans, authenticity is also part of what makes a shirt special. An original shirt is connected to a real club, season, player, tournament or moment in football history. A fake shirt may copy the look, but it does not carry the same quality, story or long-term value.
At Legacy Football Shirts, authenticity is essential. Every shirt we offer is genuine and carefully checked before it is listed. If a shirt does not meet our standards, it will never be sold through our webshop.
We also believe it is important that buyers can learn more about authenticity themselves. That is why we publish our own football shirt guides, including our how to spot a fake football shirt guide, to help explain how counterfeit shirts can be recognised.
How We Verify Shirts
Every shirt is checked carefully before it goes online. We look at the details that matter most when judging authenticity:
- Labels & product codes — We check wash tags, inner labels and product codes to see if they match official manufacturer details.
- Material & construction — We examine the fabric, stitching, fit, panels and overall build quality to see if they match authentic production standards.
- Badges, prints & finishing — We look closely at club badges, sponsor prints, namesets, fonts, placement and other small details that can help confirm authenticity.
