Walkouts NAC Breda signed football shirts collection

About

NAC Breda, founded on 19 September 1912, are a Dutch professional football club based in Breda who currently play in the Eredivisie, and their shirts feature heavily in specialist markets. From historic league glory to modern promotion fights, the club’s identity makes signed and framed shirts sought after by supporters and regional collectors, and Walkouts lists select retail and signed items with provenance notes for buyers.

The team play at the Rat Verlegh Stadium, a ground named for Antoon 'Rat' Verlegh, a central figure in the club’s story. NAC have claimed a headline domestic honour of one national title and lifted the KNVB Cup in 1973, facts that anchor the most desirable eras of kit collecting and help define which shirts trace to landmark matches and cup runs.

Anniversary releases matter for NAC collectors, notably the centenary era when the club reinstated its original crest ahead of the 2012-13 season. Centenary releases and retro reissues tied to the 2012 identity refresh are typically produced in limited runs and are therefore tracked by year and release notes, creating clear provenance for particular editions and commemorative shirts.

Season and match magnets for NAC include the early national title season of 1920-21, the KNVB Cup campaign of 1972-73 and the recent promotion via play-offs in 2024. Shirts associated with those campaigns are chased because they connect to landmark fixtures, named players and match provenance, whether a cup tie at a neutral venue or decisive league fixtures that determined promotion and survival.

An iconic away shirt narrative is an important strand of NAC kit lore. Away designs that contrast the club’s yellow home colours, often with black trim or predominantly dark panels, are tied by collectors to decisive cup ties en route to the 1973 KNVB Cup; such colourways and match associations make specific away shirts recognisable provenance markers in collections and displays.

Signed retail demand is strong for NAC fanshop shirts as well as for player-issue variants, with early retail runs, limited regional releases and player-issue differences attracting attention. Where available, pieces are presented with a verification cue, typically a COA, and listings note whether a shirt is retail-issued, match-issued or player-issued, with Free worldwide shipping offered on select orders.

Provenance drives interest across seasons, so collectors often focus on garments from the 1920-21 title year, the 1972-73 cup campaign and the recent 2023-24 play-offs promotion run. Match provenance, links to the Rat Verlegh era, and signatures from named players provide the concrete ties that matter to buyers, and Walkouts closes listings with clear notes on issue type and signature verification.

Honours

NAC Breda's headline domestic record comprises a single national championship and a solitary KNVB Cup victory, underlining a history with landmark moments rather than long trophy hauls.

More recently the team secured promotion back to the Eredivisie via play-off success in 2024, reaffirming its top‑flight ambitions.
