Worth knowing first: on this page, training pieces run almost level with home shirts as the largest category, ahead of away shirts and goalkeeper kit.
So roughly one item in four is warm-up or tracksuit gear rather than something worn in a league match. If the claret and blue home shirt is what you want, filter by type. That said, with a deep run of home shirts covering the late 1980s onwards, the choice across seasons is genuine rather than nominal.
The entry point here is unusually low for the catalogue, a reflection of how much recent, widely produced stock is in circulation.
Founded in 1882, Burnley turned professional in 1883 — among the very first to do so — and pressed the Football Association to allow payments to players at all. They were one of the twelve founder members of the Football League in 1888-89, the world’s first league competition.
That longevity is why Burnley shirts turn up across so many divisions and eras: the club has moved up and down the pyramid for more than a century, and each spell has its own kit.
Grades run 1-10 and describe wear only. Sizing follows the conventions of the year of manufacture — an English large from the early 1990s is considerably wider than a modern one.
