About us

The History of The National Vintage League.

We started life, as most great companies do - in a garage.

A bit of packing tape, a few awesome jerseys, and a bit of elbow grease.

We have always been obsessed with 1990s culture, brands and sports. Starter, Champion, Logo Athletic, pre-2000s Nike, early Reebok - bold, interesting clothes that were built to LAST.

We wanted to offer fans in the UK a service for authenticating jerseys, as eBay and similar sites were flooded with fakes. It was impossible to get a good deal, or to even know what you were buying.

We had no plans or grand vision for the company, just a hope to connect to other fans through jerseys, fandom and niche 1990s sports culture.

So we simply set about making NVL the company that WE wanted it to be.

 - Sustainable.

 - Fan-focused.

 - Always Authentic.

 - With an N64 in the office.

We could’ve never imagined we would be sitting where we are now - selling authentic vintage US sports jerseys and apparel ALL over the world. To current players, retired players - and most importantly, the people who make all of this possible - the true HOF legends - people like you! 

And thanks to every single one of you, we managed to win "Best Business For Customer Service" at the 2022 Southwark Business Excellence Awards!
