Sporting are a major club, but the range here is short and only starts in the late 1990s. There is no Portuguese archive on this site to match the Italian or English clubs, and it is more useful to say that than to let you search in vain.
What is offered is almost entirely match kit: home shirts first, then away, with a few third and goalkeeper shirts. The green and white hooped home shirt is the most available line, but the choice within any one season is narrow.
With a range this small it is worth checking back periodically — stock arrives infrequently but does turn over.
Founded on 1 July 1906 in Lisbon, Sporting Clube de Portugal form the historic trio of Portuguese football with Benfica and Porto — all three were founding members of the national league in 1934.
Their players, nicknamed os Leões, the lions, play in green and white. The club anthem, “A Marcha do Sporting”, dates from 1955. They are the third most decorated club in the league, which sustains international demand despite the scarcity of supply.
The 1-10 grade describes wear to fabric and printing. Portuguese shirts from the 1990s and 2000s generally run closer to the body than British equivalents of the same nominal size.
