Which Umbro pieces hold their value
- Club shirts with an intact crest and sponsor print, which sell to supporters of that specific club rather than to general buyers
- The retro drill tops and taped tracksuit tops of the nineties, which have a standing following of their own
- Boots with the sole plate unworn and the studs still square-edged, since a rounded stud is a boot at the end of its life
- Older woven neck labels and the earlier diamond logo, which date a piece into the collectable window
And what pulls the price down
- Cracked or flaking sponsor and crest prints, which is terminal on a football shirt and very visible in any photograph
- Boots with a split at the flex point across the forefoot, which is where football boots fail and cannot be repaired
- Bobbled polyester on older shirts, which catches the light and makes a piece look far older than its age
- Supermarket-range tracksuits and tees, which are the volume end of the brand and have essentially no resale floor
Identifying and dating yours
These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:
- Name the club, season and kit variant on any shirt, and photograph the crest close up so the print condition is settled
- For boots, photograph the sole plate and the studs from underneath — that is the wear that matters and it is never in the seller’s photos
- Show the neck label, since the diamond logo and label construction have changed several times and buyers date pieces by them
WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions
Is used Umbro worth buying?
It depends far more on the line than the label. Umbro is a football brand first, and its resale follows the game rather than fashion. The double diamond on a shirt with a real club crest is a different market from the high-street tracksuit that shares the logo. Each guide below says which Umbro lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.
How do I check a piece is genuine Umbro?
Name the club, season and kit variant on any shirt, and photograph the crest close up so the print condition is settled. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
