5 reasons for a vintage mystery shirt
An original shirt from a season gone by, and you don't know which? Sounds risky, until you hear these 5 reasons.
The Vintage Mystery Shirt — an original from a season gone by.
This season's shirt you can buy anywhere. The 2011 one, nowhere.
That is exactly the point of the Vintage Mystery Shirt: an officially licensed shirt from a season gone by, packed by hand, for a fraction of what collectors ask. Which club and which season — you find out when you open it.
More than 25,000 ballers have ordered from us by now — and vintage has become our best-selling category. In the last year alone, over 8,000 vintage shirts went out. These are the five reasons buyers mention most.
These shirts are not made anymore
That is the real difference from the current season. A 2011 shirt cannot be reordered — not from the club, not from the manufacturer, nowhere. What still exists, exists in the run they printed back then.
Every piece is officially licensed and arrives with the manufacturer's original labels and the club's licensing marks. MyBallerBox is an independent reseller, not affiliated with any football club or sportswear brand.
The moment the BallerBox opens
Ordering a shirt online is a transaction. Opening a box is an event — and the reason so many ballers film their unboxing.
It's ten seconds in which anything could be inside: the away kit from your childhood, a sponsor that folded years ago, or a cut no manufacturer would dare today.
"Everything went perfectly. Great quality on the shirts and the shorts. I will definitely use this service again."

This is the reason that surprises most people. Sought-after shirts from past seasons trade well above their original retail price on the collector market. Here you pay less than for a current-season shirt in the club store.

We tell you what condition it is in
With vintage, that is the part that counts. These shirts may have been worn before and do not always come in original packaging. Anything notable we disclose before shipping — or the piece never leaves at all.
You pick the size; the mystery is only the club and the season. And you get a say: in the comment field above the checkout button you add your preferences — favourite leagues, era, or the one arch-rival you never want.
100 days to change your mind
You get 100 days to return — Mystery Boxes included, as long as the shirt is unworn and in original condition. That is more than seven times the statutory 14-day cooling-off period.
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days; EU delivery usually takes 1–5 business days. Support is reachable at info@myballerbox.com, Monday to Friday 09:00–17:00 CET, on average within one business day.

Frequently asked
How old are the shirts?
Every Vintage Mystery Shirt comes from a past season — not the current one. Each piece is officially licensed, with the manufacturer's original labels and the club's licensing marks. Vintage items may have been worn before and don't always come in original packaging; anything notable is disclosed before shipping, or the item isn't released at all.
What if I don't like the club or season?
You can return within 100 days, as long as the shirt is unworn and in original condition. Better still, add your preferences at checkout in the comment field — that usually prevents disappointment in the first place.
Can I exclude a particular club?
Yes. Just name the arch-rival in the comment field above the checkout button. If a request can't be met, the team emails you and suggests alternatives.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days and EU delivery usually takes 1–5 business days. High order volumes or carrier delays can extend this. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your country.
How can I pay?
PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Bancontact, BLIK, MobilePay und Union Pay.
What's the difference from the printed shirt?
The Printed Vintage Mystery Shirt (€89.95) additionally carries a nameset on the back: player name and squad number from that season. The standard Vintage Mystery Shirt (€59.95) comes without printing. Which player you get, you find out when you open it either way.
