Prins Hendrik Ende Desespereert Nimmer Combinatie Zwolle, commonly known as PEC Zwolle, is a Dutch professional football club based in Zwolle, Netherlands and they play in the Eredivisie. The club was founded on 1 January 1910, a lineage often shortened to 1910 in historical records, and the name PEC Zwolle is now the recognised badge for fans and collectors alike, featured in Walkouts listings of signed shirts and memorabilia.
PEC Zwolle's modern history includes a rebirth after the original club’s bankruptcy in 1990, a period competing as FC Zwolle, and the return to the PEC Zwolle name in 2012. On the pitch the club’s headline honour is winning the KNVB Cup winners 2014, and PEC have also been finalists in 1928, 1977 and 2015 and recorded a notable sixth-place Eredivisie finish in 2015.
Collectors value provenance alongside match narrative, and PEC Zwolle shirts carry regional stories tied to Zwolle and national cup runs. The club’s kit history spans supplier and sponsor changes, and shirts from specific seasons or matches are chased for the moment they represent, not only for the player who wore them.
Retail-signed shirts issued through the club shop are explicitly collected, with demand for early-run fanshop editions, player-issue variants and region-specific releases that were sold locally in Overijssel. When available, signed retail pieces are frequently accompanied by verification paperwork, commonly a COA, which helps confirm signatures and provenance for framed shirts and limited editions.
Anniversary releases matter for PEC Zwolle, most notably the Centenary 2010 milestone which marked a century since the club’s foundation and prompted special issue shirts, scarves and match posters that now surface in collector markets. Those limited anniversary runs often attract collectors who track print runs, numbered issues and player endorsements that accompanied the release.
Seasonal and match magnets for PEC Zwolle include the cup-winning campaign and key league years. Shirts from the 2013-14 KNVB Cup run are pursued because they represent the club’s first major national trophy in the modern era, while shirts from nearby seasons capture promotion battles, cup ties and memorable fixtures that framed the club’s return to prominence.
For provenance minded collectors the visual cues matter, and PEC’s contrasting away options are part of that story; an away design in white with blue trim linked to decisive cup ties and away victories is frequently sought after. Look for shirts tied to the 2013-14 cup run and the 2014-15 league campaign when sourcing signed or framed pieces, and note that Walkouts lists verified retail signatures alongside match-issued shirts in closing selections.
