About

Spielvereinigung Greuther Fürth, founded on 23 September 1903, are a German football club based in Fürth, Bavaria, who play in the 2. Bundesliga. Walkouts lists signed football shirts and player memorabilia that speak to the club’s long trajectory, from early national success to modern promotions and relegations, and collectors value provenance alongside club story.

Greuther Fürth’s most celebrated era came well before the Bundesliga, when the side won three German championships in the pre-1940 era, a fact that anchors many historic shirt releases and retrospective runs offered to fans and collectors.

The club’s recent history is defined by breakthrough campaigns and yo-yo years: the first Bundesliga appearance in the 2012-13 season, promotion on 23 May 2021 and the subsequent return to the second tier in the 2021-22 table. Those seasons create clear demand for shirts tied to promotion nights, debut top-flight fixtures and squad-signature editions.

Anniversary and milestone issues are frequently chased because they mark precise dates in the club calendar, so Centenary themes are especially collectable. A Centenary 2003 release or similar commemorative shirt is the kind of post-1970 anniversary piece that attracts buyer interest when well documented and issued in limited runs.

Season and match magnets include the club’s Bundesliga debut and the 2020-21 promotion campaign, shirts that are sought for their association with decisive fixtures and squad continuity. Collectors look for match provenance in these runs, and retail fanshop releases tied to those campaigns often appear alongside match-issued variants. Free worldwide shipping is available for select framed shirts and signed retail items.

Iconic away colourways matter for provenance: a well photographed away strip, typically white with green trim, is memorable from decisive away wins in promotion campaigns and is often used in framed displays. Signed retail demand is not limited to match-worn kits; official fanshop shirts, early production runs and region-specific player-issue variants carry value when accompanied by authentication, commonly a COA, and clear signing details.

For collectors focused on Greuther Fürth, provenance links back to landmark seasons such as 2012-13 and the promotion campaign of 2020-21, and to the club’s return and struggle in 2021-22; framed, signed fanshop shirts from those years and Centenary 2003 editions remain among the most referenced pieces in listings and buyer enquiries, and Walkouts highlights authenticated items tied to those seasons.

Honours

Greuther Fürth’s honours are rooted in Germany’s national championship era before the formation of the Bundesliga. The club won 3 German championships in 1914, 1926, 1929 and also finished runners-up in 1920, establishing a legacy that still defines the Cloverleaves’ tradition. In the modern era, Fürth achieved their first-ever top-flight participation in 2012-13 after earning promotion from the 2. Bundesliga, a significant milestone for the club and its supporters. A second ascent to the Bundesliga followed in May 2021, underlining a capacity to climb back to the elite, even as the team later returned to the second tier. While the roll of honour is primarily domestic, the combination of early national triumphs and repeated promotions in the league system reflects endurance and ambition across generations. Taken together, these achievements chart a story that spans from the early decades of German football to the contemporary era.
