England Kit Collecting

[The Heff]

I have about 10 England shirts. A few of them are away ones and they range from the 90s to 2022.

@KB1862 It’s a difficult decision at the time because you don’t see the value or appeal of the shirts in the future. You just see that they don’t fit, but then you could have hung onto them or passed them down. It’s a shame!

@CliftonMagpie some were properly worn so needed to be thrown out but there was one or 2 that could have been kept hold of tbf. But, my lad also had a few kits that got to small for him although I have saved a couple of them for memories sake.

I think building a collection would be a fun thing to do. I have seen videos where people do it, and ones where many of them come from blind boxes. If you’re serious about collecting England shirts, then you need to see if anyone has any going or is interested in swapping.

@Joshua couldn't do the blind boxes myself, if you could have a selected few teams that are guaranteed then maybe. I can understand why people do it and it does look like fun collecting kits not knowing what's gonna come out but personally it has to be a team I like and not random, irrelevant of how nice the kit looks. 

I'm gonna keep my eyes out for more definitely.

I own a few good England shirts, but I haven't bought any since Umbro was replaced. I don't tend to like the designs. The price, as a one-off purchase, is affordable for me, but it's been a few years since I felt the England shirts looked worth the money.

@upthepies since switching to Nike I think I've only purchased 2 tbf. They're not as appealing as the umbro ones were. Should have stuck with them but I don't get how they can make the Lionesses kits brilliant but the Men's just have not that likeable designs. Can see why many choose to buy Lionesses shirts over the Men's tbf but even they're expensive.
