About TopBinz Football Shirts

TopBinz Football Shirts is an independent, family-run vintage football shirt shop based in Bristol.

We specialise in 100% authentic football shirts, from iconic classics and rare collector pieces to modern shirts from clubs and countries across the world.

With thousands of unique shirts in stock, every visit to TopBinz is different. You might find the shirt you had as a kid, a forgotten away kit from the early 2000s, an iconic player shirt, or something you had never even thought to search for.

And because almost every shirt we sell is a one-off:

Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

That is part of what makes collecting football shirts so special.

More Than Just a Football Shirt Shop

TopBinz was created because we wanted buying vintage football shirts to feel better.

Better selection.
Better authenticity.
Better information.
And a better experience for football fans.

Every shirt that comes through our doors is individually handled, checked and processed by our team before it is offered for sale.

We carefully photograph each shirt, record its size and measurements, assess its condition and check its authenticity so that you know exactly what you are buying.

Whether you're searching for a 90s classic, a player shirt from the 2000s, a modern international kit or something genuinely unusual, our aim is simple:

To make finding authentic football shirts easy, exciting and trustworthy.

100% Authentic. Always.

Authenticity sits at the heart of TopBinz.

The vintage football shirt market has grown enormously, and unfortunately so has the number of counterfeit shirts being sold online.

We want our customers to shop with confidence.

Every football shirt sold by TopBinz is checked by our team before being made available for sale, and every shirt is covered by our 100% Authenticity Guarantee.

We source shirts from collectors, suppliers and football fans across the UK and around the world, with thousands of shirts passing through our hands.

We take authenticity seriously because we know the people buying from us do too.

Whether you are buying your first vintage shirt or adding another piece to a growing collection, you should never have to wonder whether the shirt you have purchased is genuine.

Our Story

TopBinz Football Shirts began on 15 April 2025.

The idea was simple: create a place where football fans could find authentic vintage shirts without having to spend hours searching through questionable listings, marketplaces and counterfeit products.

What came next was slightly less glamorous.

In June 2025, we moved into our first premises — two outdoor shipping containers in Bristol.

There was no running water.

There was no electricity.

And, conveniently, it happened during one of the hottest periods of the summer.

We worked from collapsible camping tables, processed shirts inside shipping containers and figured out almost everything as we went.

But it worked.

More shirts started coming in. More orders started going out. More people started discovering TopBinz.

Eventually we outgrew the containers and moved into an enclosed storage unit with electricity, water and enough space to start building a proper operation.

Customers could visit us there by appointment, and it became our first real opportunity to meet the people buying our shirts.

Collectors would come in, spend time going through rails and boxes, talk football with us and often leave with something completely different from what they originally came looking for.

That experience helped shape what TopBinz would become.

Our First Shop

The next step was the biggest yet.

TopBinz moved into its first proper retail shop at:

Unit 5, Station Road
Montpelier Central
Bristol
BS6 5EE

For the first time, anyone could walk through the door and browse thousands of football shirts in person.

No appointment required.

Just rails and rails of shirts.

Our Bristol shop is now open seven days a week, while we also continue to offer selected private appointments for collectors and customers who prefer a quieter, more personal experience.

What started with camping tables inside shipping containers had become a proper football shirt shop.

And we are still only getting started.

Why Bristol?

Because Bristol is home.

TopBinz was founded here, our team is based here and the business has grown here.

Bristol has an enormous football culture, from Bristol City and Bristol Rovers to thousands of students, collectors, grassroots players and football fans from every part of the world.

Yet when TopBinz began, there was no dedicated shop in the city offering thousands of authentic vintage football shirts under one roof.

We wanted to change that.

Our shop gives people somewhere they can actually experience football shirt collecting in person.

Come in.

Go through the rails.

Talk football.

Try shirts on.

Discover something strange.

Find the shirt you remember from twenty years ago.

Or leave with something you had absolutely no intention of buying when you walked in.

That is exactly how we think a vintage football shirt shop should feel.

Meet the TopBinz Team

TopBinz is a small family-run business, and almost everything happens under one roof in Bristol.

There is no enormous warehouse team hidden behind the website.

The people you see on our social media, in our shop and in our videos are the same people sourcing, processing, photographing, packing and selling the shirts.

Fraser — Founder

Fraser founded TopBinz and leads our sourcing, authentication, conditioning and pricing.

Thousands of shirts pass through his hands, from everyday classics to unusual shirts and rare collector pieces.

His job is to make sure that what eventually reaches the TopBinz rails is something we are confident putting our name behind.

Eva — Co-Director & Operations

Eva manages the day-to-day running of TopBinz.

From customer service and processing shirts to fulfilment, systems, the website and the shop floor, she helps keep everything moving behind the scenes.

If something needs organising, fixing, building or improving, there is a very good chance Eva is involved.

Harry — Content & Photography

Harry leads our social media, photography and video content and has quickly become one of the familiar faces of TopBinz.

He photographs the shirts you see online, creates our videos and helps show the personality of the business beyond simply selling football shirts.

Betty — Website & Operations

Betty works across the TopBinz website, accounts, operations and the shop floor.

She helps keep the behind-the-scenes side of the business organised while also making sure customers receive the same experience whether they are shopping online or visiting us in Bristol.

Kaisa — Shirt Processing

Kaisa is one of the people responsible for getting shirts ready to be sold.

She measures, checks and processes shirts so that the information shown on our website accurately reflects the item you will receive.

When every shirt is different, the details matter.

Thousands of Shirts. Hundreds More Every Week.

One of the things that makes TopBinz different is the amount of stock constantly passing through the business.

We hold thousands of individual football shirts, covering teams, countries, brands and eras from across the world.

And the collection keeps changing.

Every Friday we release a major new drop of vintage football shirts onto our website.

That means there is always something new to discover.

Because our stock is largely one-of-one, there are no endless size runs or warehouses full of identical products.

The shirt you are looking at may genuinely be the only one we have.

That is why Friday drop day has become such an important part of TopBinz.

Football Shirts Deserve Another Life

There is another side to vintage football shirts that we think matters.

Millions of football shirts have already been produced.

Many are sitting in wardrobes, lofts, storage boxes and collections around the world.

We would rather see those shirts worn, collected and appreciated again.

By sourcing and rehoming existing football shirts, TopBinz gives those pieces another chapter instead of treating football shirts as disposable fashion.

Some shirts come to us after twenty or thirty years.

They are cleaned up, checked, photographed, processed and eventually sent to another football fan somewhere in the world.

And then their story continues.

Built for Football Fans

TopBinz is growing quickly, but we never want it to lose the thing that made people support us in the first place.

We are football fans selling football shirts to other football fans.

We want people to enjoy visiting the shop.

We want collectors to trust what they are buying.

We want someone discovering vintage shirts for the first time to feel welcome.

And we want TopBinz to become somewhere people think of not only when they want to buy a shirt, but whenever they think about football shirt culture.

Online or in Bristol, everyone is welcome.

For fans, by fans.
