Classic Burnley Football Shirts

Burnley are one of the historic names of English football, with a history stretching back to the 19th century. The club's distinctive claret and blue colours have become synonymous with the Clarets and provide an instantly recognisable identity to Burnley football shirts from across the decades.

As with many traditional clubs, changing manufacturers, sponsors and football shirt styles have resulted in considerable variation over the years. For collectors, these details help identify individual shirts with particular periods in Burnley's history.

Older classic Burnley shirts can provide a connection to everything from seasons in the lower divisions to promotion campaigns, European football and the club's more recent Premier League years.

Vintage Burnley Shirts

Original vintage Burnley shirts from the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s can be particularly interesting to collectors. Many were produced and sold in considerably smaller quantities than shirts belonging to the biggest English clubs, making certain original designs increasingly difficult to find.

Period sponsors, manufacturer logos, embroidered club badges and distinctive templates all contribute to the appeal of an original Burnley shirt. For long-term supporters, individual designs can also bring back memories of favourite players, memorable matches and seasons following the Clarets at Turf Moor.

Burnley Shirts from the Premier League Era

Burnley's return to the Premier League in 2009 marked an important moment in the club's modern history, bringing top-flight football back to Turf Moor after more than three decades away.

The Clarets subsequently enjoyed further spells in the Premier League, producing another generation of Burnley shirts that are now beginning to develop their own appeal as retro football kits.

One of the highlights of this modern era came when Burnley finished seventh in the Premier League in 2017-18, earning qualification for European competition. Shirts associated with successful promotion and Premier League campaigns provide a reminder of a significant period in the club's recent history.

Retro Burnley Home, Away and Goalkeeper Shirts

While Burnley's traditional home kits are dominated by claret and blue, away and goalkeeper shirts have given manufacturers much greater freedom to experiment with different colours and designs.

Our collection can include Burnley home, away, third and goalkeeper shirts from previous seasons, depending on availability. Original away and goalkeeper kits can sometimes be especially difficult to find because fewer examples were originally sold compared with home shirts.

Authentic Vintage Burnley Shirts

Authenticity matters when buying older football shirts. As the popularity of retro kits has increased, reproductions and counterfeit football shirts have become increasingly common online.

At The Kitman, our pre-owned Burnley football shirts are individually checked for authenticity before being offered for sale. Individual product listings include photographs and condition information so you can see exactly what you are buying.

Original vintage shirts can naturally show signs of age, including occasional pulls, fading or wear to sponsors and prints. Any significant condition issues are highlighted within the relevant product description.
