Leicester City Football Club, founded on 1 January 1884, are a professional club based in the city of Leicester, East Midlands, England, and currently compete in the Championship. Walkouts lists an evolving selection of signed football shirts and framed memorabilia that link the club’s long history to collectors and fans worldwide.
The team began life as Leicester Fosse, moved to Filbert Street in 1891 and were elected to the Football League in 1894 before adopting the Leicester City name in 1919. The squad relocated to the nearby King Power Stadium in 2002, a move that reset home merchandise runs and created new demand for early King Power era shirts and match-issued variants.
On the honours board Leicester City have captured seven major domestic trophies, including one Premier League title that transformed global interest in club shirts, plus multiple League Cups and an FA Cup. On the European stage the club reached the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, a run that elevated demand for European match replica and player-worn shirts from those fixtures.
For collectors a few seasons dominate attention. The club’s 2015-16 title season remains the single most sought after era for signed and match-issued shirts, while the run to and victory in the 2020-21 FA Cup marked a first-time national trophy that also drives interest in final-day shirts and Wembley provenance. Shirts from these seasons are chased because they combine limited production runs with clear historical moments.
Signed retail demand goes beyond match-worn items: fans shop for official fanshop shirts, player-issue variants and early production runs, with regional releases and limited editions drawing sustained interest. Provenance matters, and collectors often prefer framed retail shirts with player signatures, or early season retail runs that predate mid-season kit changes, as these can demonstrate continuity with on-pitch lineups.
Anniversary releases and specific colourways also carry value: commemorative releases such as the Centenary 1984 tie directly to milestone celebrations, while certain away designs have acquired legend status. An often-cited collector favourite is the white with blue trim, 1997 League Cup link, where away and cup combinations produce standout variants for display and verification purposes.
When assessing signed shirts look for clear provenance and authentication, many listings include a COA and high-resolution imagery to confirm signature placement and kit type. Walkouts presents authenticated Leicester pieces with imagery and provenance notes where available, and framed retail shirts from the title-winning and cup-winning campaigns remain among the most requested items for display, particularly pieces tied to the 2015-16 Premier League run and the 2020-21 FA Cup final.
