Fluminense Football Club, founded on 21 July 1902, is a Brazilian football club based in Laranjeiras, Rio de Janeiro, and competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. The club’s long heritage makes its shirts a focus for collectors, and Walkouts lists signed football shirts and framed pieces tied to key moments in the club’s history.
The club plays at the historic Estádio de Laranjeiras and its honours include four Brazilian championships and continental success crowned by Copa Libertadores 2023, plus a Recopa Sudamericana title and the 1952 Copa Rio. It is ranked 58 by the IFFHS, a simple indicator of international standing among clubs.
Fluminense’s kit evolution is part of its appeal, from the original half white and grey shirt to the now-iconic vertical burgundy, white and green stripes. Matches at the Maracanã and the famous Fla‑Flu derby have produced shirts showing pitch wear, patch repairs and match provenance that tell a story beyond a printed crest.
Collector interest often centres on specific seasons and fixtures. Shirts from the 1952 international campaign, the 2012 domestic title run and the 2023 Libertadores push are chased because they link to decisive matches, historic goals and famous lineups. Early replica runs and limited commemorative releases from those years are especially prized for rarity and visible match detail.
Away and cup shirts also carry provenance. The white away shirt used in decisive Libertadores ties in 2023 is noted for visible match signatures and photographic evidence of use, making it a sought after variant for framed displays. Photographs taken at finals and club archive images help connect a retail or player-issue shirt to a specific road victory.
Anniversary releases add another layer for collectors: the Centenary 2002 crested editions and later commemorative sets often feature altered badges or numbered runs, while the white away shirt (2023 Libertadores) carries match associations that increase demand among fans seeking framed pieces with provenance. Signed retail pieces, not just match-worn shirts, are collected when early fanshop runs or region-specific player-issue variants are present, and provenance notes help distinguish a signed retail from match-issued material.
Signed Fluminense shirts linked to the 2012 Brasileirão and the 2023 Libertadores era are frequently offered with a COA and clear photo evidence, which collectors look for when choosing framed or limited edition pieces. For buyers revisiting club milestones, Walkouts lists items tied to 2012 and 2023 seasons alongside centenary releases and Libertadores match-issue variants to give context to each signature and provenance note.
