Every Premier League club’s most expensive vintage shirt revealed – one costs £1536. Kit suppliers have a hard time winning over Premier League fans nowadays because of the trendy kits that were produced in the past. The likes of Nike and Adidas try to replicate past looks by using a vintage shirt, such as Manchester City’s darkened collar, as a blueprint.
Supporters often show off their love for their club by donning a shirt from years gone by that not only looks the part but also tells a story. You are bound to see one or two Manchester United fans wearing a replica of Eric Cantona’s iconic 1993-95 away shirt should you make the trip to Old Trafford.
The two Manchester rivals feature in the top 10 of the most expensive vintage shirts of the clubs participating in the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. OLBG researched the topic, and the results made for interesting reading, including one shirt that will set you back a staggering £1536.
Related 10 Most Iconic Kits in British Football History [Ranked]
From England’s epic 90s classics to Celtic’s simple-but-effective Lisbon Lions’ masterpiece, here’s a ranking of the most iconic British kits.
Posts Arsenal (1983-85) Price: £450
Arsenal have often been presented with some of the best-looking kits the Premier League has ever seen, and that was the case during the 1980s. One of their most popular entries was the red-and-white Umbro creation, one of the most recognisable kits in English football history.
Tony Woodcock and Charlie Nicholas were among the Gunners who donned the shirt at the time, and it was a turning point in the club’s history. Fans who want to bring back the white-sleeved look will need to fork out £450, which lands them mid-table on the price list. That said, the north Londoners’ replica shirt for the 2025-26 campaign is the most expensive of any Premier League club at £85.
Aston Villa (1971-72) Price: £669.72
The fourth most expensive vintage Premier League shirt belongs to Aston Villa, and it’s one of their most in-demand shirts due to its historic significance. The Villans became Third Division champions in 1972 in said kit, which features a light blue collar and sleeves with a slick club logo.
Villa’s entry will cost supporters £669.72, which is around the same price you’d expect to pay to visit Unai Emery’s homeland of Spain for a beach holiday in Ibiza. You’d want to look the part, though, and this shirt definitely catches the eye, although one might consider framing it.
Bournemouth (1986-87) Price: £358.62
At first glance, this doesn’t look like a Bournemouth shirt because its features differ from the Cherries’ modern-day kits. But it is a neat entry from Henson Teamwear that was worn during their Third Division title-winning campaign in 1986-87.
Harry Redknapp was in charge at the time, and the distinctive kit is one that the club’s fans hold in high regard. A £358.62 price places the South Coast outfit 15th in the list of most expensive vintage shirts, and it costs £800 less than a season ticket for the 2025-26 campaign.
Brentford (1995-96) Price: £399.99
Nicky Forster helped fire Brentford to promotion to the First Division (EFL Championship) in the 1995-1996 season, and those feats came in one of the club’s finest jerseys. A red collar gave the Bees a unique look with the traditional red and white stripes on display.
Fans can buy the vintage shirt at £399.99, slightly more than Bournemouth’s entry, but it’s rooted in the club’s history. Cobra Sports was the kit manufacturer for the Londoners at the time, and they did a fine job.
Brighton & Hove Albion (1980-83) Price: £299.99
Fans are familiar with Brighton & Hove Albion’s blue and white stripes, but they weren’t used during the late eighties and nineties. Instead, the base colour was blue with white features, such as their 1980-83 home shirt, which could perhaps be mistaken for an Everton shirt.
It’s one of the least expensive vintage shirts, priced at £299.99, and Seagulls supporters would likely opt for either Mark Lawrenson or Peter Ward on the back. This Adidas number was used during their time in the First Division.
Burnley (1993-95) Price: £199.99
The cheapest vintage shirt on the list is Burnley’s, which costs £199.99, and it was one that was worn by the club in both its highs and lows. The Clarets were promoted to the First Division via a Second Division Play-Off final win in the 1993-94 season but suffered immediate relegation in the 1994-95 season.
Scott Parker will hope his men can stay in the top flight this time around and make this year’s kit just as memorable as their early 1990s entry. Their replica shirt, priced at £60, is the joint least expensive among all Premier League clubs.
Chelsea (1997-98) Price: £613.67
While Chelsea wore Autoglass as their front-of-shirt sponsor in the 1997-98 season, there was little that needed repairing on the pitch. Ruud Gullit’s Blues won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and the League Cup in a season to remember at Stamford Bridge.
This famous shirt is one that has stood the test of time, a must-have for its fan-base, although you’d have to fork out £613.67. Umbro rarely ever got it wrong when producing the west Londoners’ kits, and this was one of their best creations.
Crystal Palace (1983-84) Price: £1,050
There was nothing special about Crystal Palace’s 1983-84 campaign. In fact, they finished mid-table in the Second Division. However, they did so in style with a shirt that was simple yet elegant, featuring the club’s famous red and blue stripes against a V-neck collar.
The Eagles’ retro kit is worth a jaw-dropping £1,050, placing it second on the list, and that’s a steep price to pay for a shirt with little history surrounding it. No doubt, the 2024-25 shirt, which saw the South London outfit finally win a trophy – the FA Cup – will be a similar price in decades to come.
Everton (1985-86) Price: £1,536
Everton have one of the most loyal fan-bases around the country, but even Evertonians may be put off paying £1,536 for their 1985-86 retro shirt. This is the most expensive entry but does come with fond Goodison Park memories.
The Toffees’ classic kit saw Umbro come up with a fresh look, featuring a large white V-neck on their royal blue base. Gary Lineker (who signed the one pictured above) and Peter Reid were among those synonymous with the shirt that saw them finish runners-up in the First Division and lose the FA Cup final to rivals Liverpool.
Fulham (1992-93) Price: £299.99
Fulham were way down the English footballing pyramid in 1992-93, floundering in the fourth tier, but they were presented with a top-tier kit. DMF designed a white polo-style shirt featuring a black collar with red pin stripes and the old club badge.
It holds comparisons with England’s Italia 90′ shirt and that might play a role in fans wanting to get their hands on it. It’s one of the least expensive vintage shirts on the list, but it certainly ticks all the right boxes look-wise.
