Are these official kits?

No. They're replica kits, same factories, same materials, no licensing tax. The crests are embroidered, the sponsors are sublimated, the construction is identical to retail. We don't carry the official Premier League or FIFA logos because we're not paying the licensing fee that drives the £80 price tag.

Will the quality match an £80 official kit?

Side by side, you'd struggle to tell them apart. The polyester is the same. The crest stitching is the same. The fit is the same. What's different: there's no Nike box, there's no FIFA hologram, there's no badge tax. £22.99.

How long does UK delivery take?

4-7 working days, tracked, free, no minimum spend. We dispatch next-day Monday-Thursday from Manchester. Order before 1pm Friday and we'll catch the Friday post.

What sizes do you stock?

S to 2XL on most adult kits. Selected ranges go to 3XL. We stock kids' sizes (3-4 to 13-14 yrs) on the most popular national + Premier League kits. If between sizes, size up.

What if it doesn't fit or I don't want it?

14 days to return for a refund (UK consumer law). 30 days if it's faulty. Email support@kithappens.store, we send you a return label, refund hits your card within 5 working days of us receiving it. No restocking fees, no forms.

Can I add a name and number?

Yes, £5 extra. Pick a name (up to 12 characters) and a number (1-99). Pressed in the same factory finish you'd see on a retail shirt. Adds 24 hours to dispatch but doesn't change the delivery window.

OUR STORY

Football's a working-class game. The prices should reflect that.

No fan should have to drop £160 on a shirt just to support their team. That didn't sit right with us, so we did something about it.

It started with a simple question: why does a football shirt cost £80?

We dug into the supply chain. Talked to factory partners in Asia who stitch shirts using the same fabric, same construction, same heat-press techniques as the official kits on the high street. We priced the cloth, the embroidery, the dye. The shirt itself? Less than a tenner. The other £70+? Licensing fees, retail margins, distribution layers, brand markups.

So we did the obvious thing. Went straight to the factory. Ordered the same materials. Sold them direct at £22.99. No middlemen. No badge tax.

Every Kit Happens shirt is built from premium recycled polyester, the same fabric class used in the £80 retail kits. Heat-pressed crests. True-to-size fit. We don't pretend they're official; they're officially-unofficial. And our customers tell us that's exactly the point.
