Why these shirts matter right now

Two long relationships in one name: the Leicester title season and the City years. The No.26 is a supporters’ favourite rather than a headline shirt, so it keeps selling after the player has left the league.

How we source and print

  • Where these shirts come from. Fan and player editions sourced from our supplier network and checked against the club release for the 2026/27 season before listing.
  • Printed to order. Names and numbers are applied to order, so a printed shirt ships a few days later than a plain one.
  • Sizing. Sizes run from S to 3XL; the sizing guide has chest measurements for every edition we carry.
  • How we choose what to list. We track which names our own customers order each week and stock deeper where demand is real rather than where a catalogue says it should be.
  • What the print includes. City shirts we carry print the No.26; Algeria shirts print his national No.7.
