Our Story
Our journey began in the summer of 2006, a time when we should have been studying for our final exams. But the allure of the World Cup and our hunt for an original 1990 West Germany shirt led us on a different path. Growing up, we were both avid collectors of football kits, but the search for classics proved challenging. This sparked the idea for Goatkits Store.
Our mission was clear - create a hub for fans to find rare and unique football shirts while delving into the history of their favorite teams and players. Ignoring conventional advice to pursue 'real jobs,' we started amassing a vast collection of football shirts, cramming a student house with racks of history. In August 2006, Goatkits Store was officially launched.
Our Journey
Initially, we faced the challenge of building our presence in a pre-social media world. We scraped together enough funds to place advertisements in a few popular football magazines. Fortunately, this effort paid off, and we began to connect with loyal and enthusiastic customers who shared our passion. Our days were consumed by relentless sourcing of new stock, with an ambitious goal of having at least one item for every recognized team, no matter how obscure.
By the end of 2007, our student house resembled a warehouse, with racks of football shirts in every room. What started as a handful of daily orders grew into a full mail sack on the way to the post office. We were fortunate to acquire some incredible shirts in the early days, including the legendary Johan Cruyff Washington Dips and Joe Royle Man City League Cup Final jerseys. It's remarkable to think that we haven't come across another Cruyff shirt since!
