Atlético de Madrid, based in Madrid, Spain, compete in La Liga. Founded on 26 April 1903, the club’s red and white identity and storied crest have made its shirts sought after by collectors and fans, and Walkouts lists a rotating selection of signed football shirts and framed pieces.
Home matches are staged at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, a modern bowl with a large capacity, and the club’s cabinet includes 11 La Liga titles, alongside continental success such as the UEFA Europa League. The side are well represented in global rankings and are placed 11 by the IFFHS, a useful reference for comparative club prominence.
Anniversary releases after 1970 have become a focal point for collectors, notably the Centenary 2003 items which featured a special crest and limited trim. Such releases are often produced in smaller runs and carry unique identifiers that distinguish them from standard retail editions, making them particularly desirable on the secondary market.
Certain seasons act as magnets for shirt hunters: the 2011-12 Europa League campaign with Radamel Falcao’s decisive goals, the 2013-14 title run that settled a dramatic title race, and the 2015-16 Champions League road to Milan all produce shirts tied to key matches. Shirts from those campaigns are chased because they are tied to defining moments and often show match or tournament provenance.
Away colours can be as collectible as home strips; collectors point to the black 2015-16 away shirt associated with the club’s run to the Champions League final in Milan, and earlier blue and yellow away runs linked to continental finals. Colourway, match context and photographic evidence of a shirt being worn or signed away from the home ground strongly affect desirability.
Retail fanshop shirts are explicitly collected alongside match-worn pieces, including early production runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases, and many listings include provenance language and authentication notes such as a COA. Demand for signed retail shirts remains high, especially for editions issued around major finals and anniversary launches.
Collectors also track supplier eras, derbies and final venues for provenance, with provenance tied to matches in Milan, Lisbon and the club’s own El Derbi Madrileño lore. The emphasis on specific campaigns means pieces from the 2013-14 season and the 2015-16 run are frequently referenced together by buyers and curators, and clearly labelled items make accurate attribution far easier when browsing listings at the close of a sale.
