Published Articles & In the Media
Walkouts started as a simple thing. We wanted signed football shirts we could trust, not stories that fall apart the moment you check a hologram. Somewhere along the way that collector story became interesting enough for journalists, editors and football writers to pick up.
On this page you will find a selection of those published articles and features. If you are wondering whether Walkouts is a serious player in this hobby, you do not have to take our word for it. Just read how others talk about us.
Why football media care about Walkouts
Modern football fans are not only watching matches. They are collecting moments. A signed shirt from a rising talent, a club legend or a specific season is a time capsule. At the same time the market is flooded with fakes, vague certificates and stories that sound good but are hard to verify.
That is the gap Walkouts tries to close. We combine authenticated signatures and COAs with clear provenance, detailed shirt data and collector focused guides. So when media outlets cover the value of signed shirts, the risks of forgeries or the smart way to build a collection, Walkouts is a natural source to quote or feature.

About partner and sponsored content
Some of the articles above started with a simple pitch. I believed the story behind Walkouts and authenticated signed shirts was useful for readers, reached out to publishers and invested in high quality partner content.
The rules are straightforward. The information has to be genuinely helpful for fans and collectors. The story has to be honest about risks, not only upside. And it has to reflect how we actually work at Walkouts. No fake scarcity, no wild promises about future values. Just real shirts, real signatures and real context.
Where a publication labels a piece as partner content or advertorial, we support that transparency. Trust is built by being clear, not by pretending every mention is accidental.
