Eintracht Frankfurt’s football club was founded on 8 March 1899 and took its colours from the two clubs that merged into it: Frankfurter FC Viktoria in red and white, Frankfurter FC Kickers in black and white. Because local rivals Kickers Offenbach wear red and white, Eintracht avoid that pairing and play in black and red or black and white. The badge derives from the one-headed imperial eagle of the Frankfurt city arms; a stylised black and white eagle arrived in 1980 and a more traditional eagle returned in the centenary year of 1999, so shirts listed as Centenary belong to that season. A live golden eagle has served as mascot since 2005. The ground has been the Waldstadion since 1925.
The listing spans 1978 to 2026, but the weight is in the middle: roughly 64 items from the 2000s and 67 from the 2010s against three from the 1970s, nine from the 1990s and 14 from the 2020s. Eintracht were founding members of the Bundesliga in 1963, have spent 57 seasons in the top flight, and hold one German championship, five DFB-Pokal wins and two Europa League titles, plus a European Cup final defeat. Charly Körbel made a record 602 Bundesliga appearances, all for this club.
Home shirts number about 70, away shirts 30 and third shirts 16, with training tops, track jackets, hooded rain jackets, six goalkeeper shirts and polo shirts making up the rest. There are six match-issue and five player-issue items and eight signed shirts, plus youth and women’s pieces, so check the full title. Nike, Jako and Hummel branding each mark a different period, and prices run from about 10 pounds to 360.
