About

Club de Fútbol Monterrey, founded on 1 January 1945, based in the Monterrey metropolitan area, Nuevo León, play in Liga MX, and shoppers at Walkouts can explore a strong selection of signed football shirts and memorabilia. The club is the oldest professional side from northern Mexico and the nickname Rayados reflects the team’s longstanding striped identity.

The modern matchday experience moved with the team to Estadio BBVA in 2015, a stadium frequently cited when discussing Monterrey’s recent profile rise. Ownership by FEMSA since 1999 has underpinned steady investment in squads that regularly contend at the top of Liga MX.

On the pitch Monterrey’s record is notable, with five league titles to their name and continental honours that underline their regional stature, including five CONCACAF Champions League titles. The club’s crest, striped kit and the stars that mark domestic and continental success are recurring motifs among collectors.

Anniversary shirts, especially those tied to milestone years and stadium moves, attract attention from buyers who prize provenance and limited runs. Releases connected to the club’s milestone years after 1970 are often sought for frame displays as they mark eras of both domestic growth and international success.

Season and match magnets include the run of continental victories across 2011, 2012 and 2013, and the 2020 campaign that completed a continental treble. Shirts linked to these campaigns are chased because they represent sustained success in CONCACAF competition and frequent exposure in major finals and decisive knockout ties.

The club’s kit identity is rooted in the navy stripes worn at home, with contrast away garments commonly presented in lighter tones with navy detailing, producing a recognisable colourway that accompanies the team into continental ties. That visual contrast makes certain away shirts especially collectible when they coincide with deep runs in the CONCACAF Champions League.

Fans routinely collect signed retail items as well as match-issued pieces, and the market values early fanshop runs, player-issue variants and region-specific releases that carry provenance. Limited editions and player-signed retail shirts from milestone seasons, for example the club’s stadium move era, draw particular demand, and collectors often seek supporting documentation such as 70th Anniversary 2015 references or provenance notes tied to derby or final fixtures.

Provenance is central, with collectors favouring items tied to the Clásico Regiomontano, continental finals at venues around CONCACAF and key seasons; shirts linked to the 2011-2013 CONCACAF run and the 2020 treble period are regularly verified with a COA, and listings on Walkouts will note that documentation where present.

Honours

Monterrey's honours cabinet reflects sustained excellence at home and across the region. Domestically, the club has captured five league titles in Mexico's top flight and complemented them with three domestic cups, underscoring an ability to compete in multiple formats. On the continental stage, Monterrey have been a dominant force, collecting five CONCACAF Champions League titles, a haul that includes a remarkable sequence of three consecutive triumphs in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The club crest visualises this record, with stars above signifying league championships and stars below recognising continental success. The modern era added further lustre when the team completed the continental treble in 2020, an achievement that few sides in the region can match. Taken together, these milestones capture both consistency and a strong big-match temperament, helping to define Monterrey as a benchmark club within Liga MX and the wider CONCACAF sphere.
