Verein für Bewegungsspiele Stuttgart 1893 e. V., founded in 1893, is based in Stuttgart and its first team plays in the Bundesliga, a profile that makes club shirts highly sought after by supporters and collectors and is represented in curated releases on Walkouts.
The team play home matches at the MHPArena in the Neckarpark, close to the Cannstatter Wasen, and the side have won the national championship five times, while also claiming a record two UEFA Intertoto Cups, achievements that inform which shirts are prized by specialists and museums alike.
VfB Stuttgart combine a large membership base with a standout youth record and a notable reserve structure, and the club appears in global measures of form and history, with the IFFHS ranking the side 52nd among clubs worldwide. Collectors use provenance, photographic evidence and match context to prioritise pieces from decisive seasons and city derbies.
Fans place value not only on match-issued shirts but on authorised retail items, so signed fanshop shirts and limited release retail variants are actively collected; early production runs, player-issue retail variants and region-specific fan editions are all documented entry points for verified signatures and framed displays.
Anniversary editions are a clear magnet for buyers, for example the 1993 Centenary release that featured a special crest, while later issues marked 125 and 130 years with commemorative trims and badges. These milestone shirts often carry distinctive sleeve or chest treatments that separate them from standard home and away strips and make them straightforward catalogue entries for preservation.
Season and match magnets include shirts from the 1983-84 title run, the decisive 1991-92 last-day victory and the 2006-07 championship campaign; collectors chase shirts from those campaigns because of match provenance and photo-matched signatures. Iconic away colours also attract focus, notably the 2006-07 red away shirts tied to key road results during the title run.
Provenance matters, so many buyers request labels, stitched tags, match photographs and a COA when available, and specialist sellers note supplier eras such as Adidas and Puma when describing provenance. Walkouts lists signed retail and limited editions alongside photo-matched examples so buyers can compare season wear, centenary crests and away colourways like the 2006-07 red when assessing a piece from 1991-92 or 2006-07.
