Heerenveen shirt guide
Our favourite vintage sc Heerenveen shirts
An old sc Heerenveen shirt you really recognize instantly. Blue-and-white stripes, red pompeblêden and that typical Frisian feeling that hardly any other football shirt has. Precisely for that reason, old Heerenveen shirts are so fun to collect and wear. They're distinctive, characterful and often much more atmospheric than a standard modern shirt.
Many supporters simply search for an old Heerenveen shirt or sc Heerenveen football shirt, when they're actually drawn to something with a retro or vintage feel. Not old in the sense of worn, but old in the sense of character. A shirt with a sponsor you don't see anymore, a fit from a different era and details that instantly bring back a season.
Where do you start when searching for an old Heerenveen shirt?
If you want the real Heerenveen feel, you're almost always right with a blue-and-white home shirt with pompeblêden. Looking for something more original? Then look specifically at old away shirts, training shirts or shirts from the ABE, Fila, Umbro and early Jako periods. Those often have a bit more surprise.

Buying an old Heerenveen shirt? Start with the feeling
The beauty of old sc Heerenveen shirts is that the club identity is so strong. Even a shirt from a completely different period feels immediately recognizable through the stripes and pompeblêden. That makes retro and vintage Heerenveen shirts particularly attractive to supporters and shirt enthusiasts alike.
Our tip: don't choose based on year alone. Look at the sponsor, the fit, the brand and especially at what the shirt evokes in you. Do you want classic blue-and-white, a European touch, a cup memory or something surprising from the training or away collection?
In our collection you'll find original old Heerenveen shirts that we select for look, condition, wearability and football spirit. A good Heerenveen shirt doesn't only have to be beautiful. It has to immediately breathe Friesland.
