Walkouts Almere City FC signed football shirts collection

About

Almere City Football Club is a professional football club based in Almere, Netherlands, currently competing in the Eerste Divisie. Founded on 14 September 2001, the club’s recent history and local identity make its shirts both meaningful and collectible, and Walkouts lists signed retail and limited edition pieces that appeal to supporters and memorabilia specialists alike.

The organisation traces roots back to 1959 and grew from the multi-sport outfit Omniworld, before adopting the Almere City FC name prior to the 2010-11 season. Home fixtures are staged at the Yanmar Stadion, a compact ground that underlines the club’s close fan links, and the stadium is often referenced when provenance and match context matter for signed shirts and framed displays.

Collectors watch anniversaries closely for commemorative runs. The club’s foundation in 2001 and milestone decades, for example tenth and twentieth anniversaries, have prompted special editions and retrospective retail releases tied to civic pride and the club’s modern identity, offering labelled runs that can differ from standard fanshop stock.

Specific seasons draw attention because they mark turning points on the pitch and in the badge evolution; shirts from the 2010-11 period when the name change took effect, and from the recent 2024-25 campaign that ended with relegation from the top flight, are chased for their historical context, squad lists and sleeve details that link them to decisive fixtures and squad milestones.

Away designs are especially sought after when they reflect the club’s nickname; the black away shirt and variants echoing De Zwarte Schapen are popular, particularly from early production runs and limited retail drops. Signed retail shirts, not only match-worn pieces, are actively collected, with attention paid to early fanshop runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases, and many examples are accompanied by a COA to confirm signature provenance.

For collectors who value match context and era detail, provenance tied to stadium appearances and season narratives matters. Walkouts presents signed and framed shirts with clear origin notes that reference seasons and fixtures, and pieces connected to the 2010-11 season and the 2024-25 season are commonly highlighted for their significance in the club’s timeline, covering the renaming era and the recent top-flight campaign respectively.

With a listed capacity of 4,501, the ground offers an intimate setting where supporters are close to the action and sightlines are concentrated. The stadium name appears in club literature and on matchday tickets and is commonly used alongside the town name to identify the venue.

Matchday here is defined by a close-knit atmosphere rather than large crowds, which shapes local rivalries and weekend fixtures; the site also functions as a focal point for civic sporting ambitions and supporter gatherings in Almere.
