Sweden wear yellow shirts, blue shorts and yellow socks, with the away kit simply reversing the two. Since the colours never change, the neck label does the dating. adidas has made the kit since 2013 and also made it from 1973 to 2003; Umbro supplied it in 1970 and again from 2003 to 2013. An Umbro Sweden shirt therefore belongs to that ten-year window in the middle, and adidas branding puts a shirt either side of it. Both appear here, adidas on 69 items against 22 for Umbro.
The listing runs from 1986 to 2026. Of roughly 280 items, 108 fall in the 2010s, 60 in the 2000s, 58 in the 1990s, 47 in the 2020s and six in the 1980s. Sweden finished second at the 1958 World Cup, which they hosted, and third in 1950 and 1994; they took Olympic gold in 1948 and bronze in 1924 and 1952, reached the Euro 1992 semi-finals as hosts and the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals. None of the 1950s sides survive as shirts on the market.
Home shirts number 98 and away shirts 42, but training tops, polo shirts, quarter-zip tops and track jackets together make up more than 60. Match-issue shirts account for 27 and player-issue items for 14, and both cost well above the retail versions. Women’s national team shirts run through the recent seasons. Prices go from 18 pounds to 480, with the middle near 54, and 51 items are new with tags while 135 are graded Excellent.
