Club Atlético Independiente, based in Avellaneda, plays in the Primera División, and Walkouts presents a focused selection of signed football shirts and memorabilia that speak to the club’s continental pedigree and local identity.
The institution traces its formal origins to 1 January 1905, though members met from August 1904 before adopting the Independiente name; collectors often cite the foundation as a clear provenance marker, with 1905 used across archive listings and shirt reissues by the club.
The men’s team currently plays at the Estadio Libertadores de América, inaugurated in its modern form in 2009 with a capacity around 49,500, and the club has secured a headline domestic record of 16 Primera División titles, achievements that drive demand for classic home and commemorative shirts tied to championship seasons and the Clásico de Avellaneda.
Internationally Independiente is best known for a continental run that includes a record of seven Copa Libertadores and two Intercontinental Cup victories, memorable wins that include finals against Juventus in Rome and Liverpool in Tokyo; the club is ranked 171 by IFFHS, a contextual note collectors use when assessing historical prestige.
For collectors the overlap of match provenance and retail availability matters. Anniversary and commemorative runs, limited reproductions and player-issue variants attract distinct interest, and listings often note CONMEBOL patch and medalla details as verification cues. Free worldwide shipping is available on selected framed and signed retail pieces, and provenance notes such as witness statements or item photographs are routine in specialist listings.
Anniversary releases carry particular weight, for example the 2005 Centenary crested shirts issued for the club’s 100th year, while season-specific magnets such as the 1973 Libertadores shirts capture the dynasty peak and see strong demand from enthusiasts who prize four-title sequences and era-specific badging. Collectors reference player signatures from icons like Ricardo Bochini and Diego Cagna, and verified early-run fanshop shirts or region-specific editions command notable attention at auction.
Iconic away pieces also feature in chasing lists, notably the white away shirt, Intercontinental linked to decisive away fixtures, and authenticated retail shirts often arrive with a COA or equivalent provenance note; shoppers pursue early production runs, player-issue variants and exact photo proof for signed items. Find these pieces and specialist descriptions at Walkouts, where listings cite season provenance including 1973 Libertadores and the 1984 Intercontinental encounters against Liverpool in Tokyo.
