David Beckham Shirts: Which Kits to Look For, Numbers and How to Check Them
Posted by Mathew Davis
David Beckham played for Manchester United, England, Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, so collectors look for his shirts across six clubs and countries. This guide explains which kits to look for, which squad numbers he wore, how to check a name and number print, and what to know about size before you buy a vintage Beckham shirt.
Which David Beckham shirts do collectors look for?
Manchester United (Umbro, then Nike): Beckham played for United from the early 1990s until 2003. Umbro made the kit for most of that time, and Nike took over in 2002.
England (Umbro): Umbro made England's kit throughout his international career. Beckham captained England for six years, so England shirts from the late 1990s and the 2000s are among the most recognised Beckham shirts.
Real Madrid (Adidas): he joined in 2003 and played there until 2007.
LA Galaxy (Adidas): his Major League Soccer years, 2007 to 2012.
AC Milan (Adidas): two loan spells from LA Galaxy, in 2009 and 2010.
Paris Saint-Germain (Nike): his final club, in 2013.

If a listing shows Beckham's name with a different number for that club, ask for clear photos before you buy.
How do I check a Beckham name and number print?
Names and numbers can be added to a shirt at any time, so the print deserves a close look.
Font and style: the lettering should match what that club or country used in that season.
Age: the print should look like it has aged with the shirt. Light cracking is normal on older heat-pressed prints. A glossy, perfect print on a 20-year-old shirt deserves a closer look.
Placement: name and number should sit evenly and match the shirt's design.
Tags and labels: the neck and hem labels and product code should match the manufacturer and the era.
For a brand-by-brand walkthrough of labels and product codes, read our field guide, Reading the Tags. Every vintage jersey we list is an original from its time, and we don't sell fake reproductions.
