Club Deportivo Leganés, S.A.D., based in Leganés, currently compete in the Segunda División and have been catalogued for collectors by Walkouts since recent promotions and cup runs. The club traces its roots to 1928, and fans look for shirts that mark the rise from regional tiers to national attention. The present profile shapes both vintage interest and contemporary demand for signed football shirts and framed pieces.
The team holds home matches at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque, a compact venue built in 1998 after the move from the Luis Rodríguez de Miguel, seating around 14,500. Match provenance around Butarque is often documented and the club appears in wider metrics with an IFFHS ranking of 342, which collectors use as context when assessing modern era items.
Leganés was founded on 01 January 1928 and began life in the lower divisions, playing its first season in the sixth tier before climbing over decades. The club’s pathway includes extended spells in regional football, a long tenure at the Luis Rodríguez de Miguel from 1966, and the high-profile breakthrough into LaLiga that now underpins much of its contemporary memorabilia market.
Anniversary releases and special patches have become focal points for shirt hunters, notably a 2018 commemorative badge marking the club’s ninety year milestone. Seasons that attract matched retail runs include the Segunda champions 2023-24 campaign which renewed interest in home replicas, and the LaLiga debut season of 2016-17 which remains a highlight for early top-flight retail issues.
Collector interest centres on a handful of seasons and fixtures: the promotion-era kits from 2016-17, the dramatic 2017-18 Copa del Rey run including the semi-final against Real Madrid, and subsequent promotions. Iconic away pieces, such as the black cup-era strip worn in cup ties away from home, are chased for their match links and limited retail runs. Fans also prize Joma-era retail variants and region-specific fanshop releases which often include player-issue differences.
For provenance, anniversary releases and verification matter. The club’s 2018 commemorative run is identifiable by a special badge and limited distribution, and many higher-value items are offered with exact photo proof to link player signatures to specific fixtures. Signed fanshop shirts, not only match-worn pieces, are collected, with early retail runs and player-issue variants carrying particular premium because they are often the only commercially available signed items from a season.
Collectors should note provenance tied to derby and cup fixtures, for example the Derbi del Sur de Madrid and the Bernabéu cup tie, where shirts from the 2016-17 LaLiga debut season and the black away 2017-18 Copa del Rey run are especially sought after. Walkouts lists authenticated, signed retail shirts and framed options with documented provenance that reference those seasons and fixtures, and many entries note exact photo proof or similar verification to assist display and framing choices.
