About

Sport-Club Freiburg e.V., founded on 1 January 1904, is a German professional club based in Freiburg im Breisgau and competing in the Bundesliga. Walkouts lists signed fanshop shirts, autographs and framed pieces that appeal to supporters who value provenance as much as the signature.

The club spent generations at the Dreisamstadion before a move to the modern Europa-Park Stadion, and their rise through the leagues included a promotion as 2. Bundesliga champions that set the tone for top-flight consolidation. The side also features in global metrics, sitting at IFFHS rank 174, reflecting recent European participation.

SC Freiburg's continental breakthrough is best seen in their Europa League progress and the growing collector interest around those campaigns, in particular the Europa League knockouts. Kit suppliers across eras, including Nike and Hummel, produced variations that now help experts identify fanshop versions, player-issue examples and regional releases.

Anniversary releases after 1970 are limited in official records, so collectors often chase season-specific shirts instead. Notable seasons that drive demand include the club's high placed domestic finish in 2012-13, a memorable DFB-Pokal final run in 2021-22 and the 2022-23 Europa League appearance; shirts from those years are prized because they mark clear competitive milestones and carry match and tournament provenance.

The iconic away set collectors target is the white away shirt used during European away fixtures, tied to the club's continental outings and key away results. Fans actively collect fanshop shirts as well as match-issued variants, with early production runs, player-issue trims and region-specific label differences adding value. Provenance is strengthened where items have supporting imagery, and exact photo proof is frequently cited to verify match or cup use.

A collector insight specific to Freiburg is the strong provenance link to Dreisamstadion era pieces and regional derby provenance from the Baden derby against Karlsruher, where match-worn or final-day shirts surface with verified labels. The club's Pokal final run has yielded a number of photo-matched shirts, which increases interest in authenticated signatures and limited retail runs.

Whether you seek a framed shirt from a Europa campaign or a signed fanshop replica, attention to label era and proven match imagery helps separate retail signatures from match-worn pieces. Available via Walkouts with Free worldwide shipping, SC Freiburg pieces from the 2012-13 season and the 2021-22 cup run remain among the most requested for their clear on-field narratives and verifiable provenance.
