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. Barcelona shirts print the No.6; Spain shirts carry the No.8.
