2000s Premier League Shirts: A Collector's Guide to Kits, Makers and Condition
Posted by Mathew Davis
A 2000s Premier League shirt is a football shirt from the 2000-01 to 2009-10 seasons. These shirts are closer fitting than 1990s kits, use lighter technical fabrics, and often carry heat-pressed sponsor and name prints that age in recognisable ways. This guide covers which kits collectors look for, who made each club's shirt, who won the title each season, and what to check before you buy.
Which 2000s Premier League shirts do collectors look for?
Arsenal 2003-04 (Nike): the season Arsenal went through the Premier League campaign unbeaten.
Manchester United 2007-08 (Nike): the season United won both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Chelsea 2004-05 (Umbro): Chelsea's first league title in 50 years, in José Mourinho's first season.
Liverpool 2004-05 (Reebok): the season Liverpool won the Champions League in Istanbul.
Arsenal 2005-06 (Nike): the last season at Highbury before the move to the Emirates.
The manufacturer on the label should match this. A Liverpool shirt from 2004-05 with a Nike label, for example, would be wrong.

What should I check on a 2000s Premier League shirt?
Sponsor and crest prints: heat-pressed prints crack and peel with age. Light cracking is normal. A perfect, glossy print on a shirt from this era deserves a closer look.
Name and number: the player has to have been at that club in that season. Check the lettering matches the season and has aged like the rest of the shirt.
Fabric: technical fabrics can pill or bubble, especially under the arms. White shirts can yellow.
Labels: the neck and hem labels and product code should match the manufacturer and the era.
