Classic Football Shirts, a Manchester, UK-based hub to buy authentic football shirts, received an investment from The Chernin Group.
The company will use the proceeds to continue to expand operations and development efforts.
Founded in 2006 in Manchester, UK by Doug Bierton and Matthew Dale – and later joined by Gary Bierton, Classic Football Shirts is a platform to buy authentic football shirts, which offers a collection of authentic football shirts from timeless classics to vintage finds and some of the game’s most iconic shirts.
The company has a community both on and offline, with stores in London and Manchester, UK, millions of social followers, and customers in over 100 countries. They have classic football shirts listed from thousands of clubs, countries and players, and over 6,700 unique or match-worn shirts housed in “The Vault”, a climate-controlled storage area for special pieces that are not yet available to the public.
TCG invested $38.5M of growth equity capital into Classic Football Shirts and is the only major outside investor.
