Walkouts FC Rustavi signed football shirts and editions

About

FC Rustavi is a Georgian football club based in Rustavi, competing in Erovnuli Liga 2. Founded on 1 January 2015, the side is one of the youngest participants in Georgian league football and appears on Walkouts for curated signed football shirts and limited editions.

The club was established to re‑energise professional football in the city and has moved through the domestic pyramid since foundation. Matches from the club’s rise attract attention because the playing history is compact, local coverage is focused and surviving match items are comparatively scarce, which lends context to any shirt provenance notes supplied with transfers and listings.

Because FC Rustavi was created in 2015 there are no long‑running post‑1970 anniversary ranges to catalogue, so collectors often prize shirts tied to the foundation era and early seasons. Official anniversary releases, where present, are short runs or fanshop only, meaning framed retail pieces from the first years are sought for completeness rather than as headline heritage collectibles.

Away strips at the club have been treated practically rather than as statement kits, so provenance is frequently the primary value driver for collectors. Fanshop shirts, early production runs and player‑issue variants from home and away editions are recorded and traded alongside match‑issued garments, which makes retail signed shirts from regional runs an important category for those tracking Georgian club material.

Collectors chasing Rustavi items often focus on shirts connected to competitive milestones and the club’s brief top‑flight history; surviving garments from those campaigns are finite and therefore notable. In that light one common collector cue is the club’s record of two seasons in the top division, a short window which concentrates demand for match shirts and season‑specific retail releases.

Provenance is central when sourcing Rustavi shirts; listings that include clear photo evidence, player signatures and a stated authentication method are preferred, and many Walkouts entries note certification. Where supplied, a formal verification cue such as a COA is frequently referenced alongside condition notes and imagery, and collectors appreciate that detail when comparing early 2015 issues with shirts from subsequent top‑flight appearances in the 2015 season and the 2016 top‑flight campaign.
