This shop started with a single shirt
My name is Dariusz and I have been collecting football shirts for years. It started with a single 90s piece I bought because it reminded me of a match I watched with my dad. It ended with a collection, a physical shop in Szczecin and this website.
Everything you find here first passed through my hands: checked, photographed and described honestly, flaws included. Because that is the only way I buy myself.
From a drawer to a shop
From the first match on TV to a shop of my own, in short: first the passion and the collection, then an obsession with labels and codes, and finally a place where you can benefit from it.
Prehistory
-
1994
First match on TV
The first match I watched consciously and with real passion was the 1994 Champions League final: AC Milan - FC Barcelona 4:0.
-
1995
First match on the pitch
The first match I played myself was a game in the St. John Bosco Cup in Szczecin: Sponsor Szczecin - Don Bosco, June 1995. My team was coached by Teodor Jabłonowski, a Pogoń Szczecin legend and my first coach.

1996
The first shirt
My first shirt was a "market stall" version of the Ajax Amsterdam home kit, the team that had just charmed football Europe by winning the Champions League. That same year I also got hold of my first football flag: a Real Madrid one, which hung above my bed for a few years. I never really supported that team, but back then getting any football flag at all was quite a feat 😉 Fun fact: I have had that flag for 30 years now and it proudly hangs in the LFS shop at Smolańska 3/202 in Szczecin.

1996
First match as a fan
Pogoń Szczecin - Siarka Tarnobrzeg 3:0. I still remember the emotions and the smell in the air: cigarette smoke, sunflower seeds cracked by hundreds of people and fried sausage.

Will the passion grow into something bigger?
Years of interest in football and sports memorabilia turn into something much bigger. The first plans and dreams of a retro shop of my own take shape.

Online shop
In March the first online shop goes live. A few months later the shop goes "into the workshop" of Arkadiusz Adamowicz, a developer and expert in building online shops (owner of ArCode PRO). His audit shows that a new shop is needed, one built around the specifics of the business. In September we launch the new project, built and deployed by Arkadiusz Adamowicz himself.
Drop by, let's talk shirts
You can see every piece from the online shop in person: check the labels, try it on, compare the size. Pick-up in store always without shipping costs.
