At Icons.com, authenticity is everything. As the world’s leading retailer of signed football memorabilia, we are committed to providing fans with 100% genuine products — and that starts with the shirts.

Sure, it would be easy to buy directly from counterfeit dealers or unofficial sources — we could expand our product range overnight. But we don’t, and we never will. We’ve worked incredibly hard to build the biggest and most trusted memorabilia business in the world. We would never jeopardise that for the sake of profit from a fake shirt.

Only Official, Authentic Shirts

Every shirt we use is an officially licensed product — the same kind you’d buy from a club shop or wear to the stadium. We never use fakes or unofficial copies. If a signed shirt comes from Icons.com, you can trust that it’s the real deal.

What’s a “Fan Style” Shirt?

We can’t always get our hands on the exact amount or type of shirt that we want before a signing session takes place. Hey, c’est la vie! This can happen for a number of logistical reasons, but we won’t let it hold us back! To make sure we can still offer our customers the best range of shirts possible, we can order the numbers and lettering that go on the back of shirts separately, get these signed, then professionally heat-press the lettering and numbers onto the right shirts at a later date. We call these shirts “Fan Style”. Oh, and don’t worry, the process of heat-pressing the numbers onto the back of the shirt doesn’t affect the signature in any way. We’re very careful about that.

What About T-Shirts and Remakes?

We also collaborate with officially licensed retro and remake brands such as TOFFS, Score Draw, and COPA — all of whom hold official licences with major clubs and national teams. These companies produce high-quality, legally approved remakes for teams like Chelsea, England, Brazil, the Netherlands, and many more. Of course, there are challenges — it’s not exactly easy to walk into a shop and pick up 150 original 2004/05 Barcelona shirts! But rather than cutting corners, we always do things the right way. In very rare cases, we offer signed T-shirts, but this is always clearly specified in the product description. We always strive to deliver the best possible product for our customers.

Why It Matters?

Fake shirts don’t just compromise quality — they destroy the long-term value of your memorabilia. That’s why we only use genuine, club-issued or licensed national team shirts when working with players. We’re also bound by strict licensing agreements with clubs, players, and major organisations like FIFA and UEFA. These licenses simply don’t allow the use of fake or unofficial products — and that’s exactly how it should be. 

Backed by Certification

Every signed shirt from Icons.com comes with an Official Certificate of Authenticity. This confirms not just that the signature is real but that the shirt itself is 100% authentic. Unlike many other memorabilia companies, our consistency is second to none. We pay players via invoice and BACS (never in cash), document signings with photos and video content, and manage every signing session through our expert in-house team. Every member of staff involved can vouch for the signatures on your products.  

Trusted by the Best

We work directly with the world’s greatest players and the biggest names in football. When you buy from Icons.com, you’re buying from a brand trusted by legends like Messi, Ronaldo, Bale, and more — because for us, authenticity isn’t just important. It’s everything.
