Feyenoord and apparel partner Castore released a new retro kit collection featuring two classic jerseys from the 1990s, 1908.nl reported. The Rotterdam club brought back the red-and-white home shirt worn between 1992 and 1994, alongside the dark blue away shirt from the 1998/1999 championship season. Both jerseys carry a price tag of 60 euros and are available in sizes ranging from XS to 3XL in the club’s online and physical fan shops.
Rapid Sellout Hits Online Fanshop After Thursday Launch
The collection proved immediately popular following its launch on Thursday morning, according to FR12.nl, which cited the Algemeen Dagblad. Within hours, both shirt designs sold out entirely across all sizes in the online store.
Physical Store Replenishment Planned for Next Thursday
Supporters who missed out on the initial online release will receive another opportunity next Thursday when the physical fan shop receives stock, according to Headliner. The exact timing of the in-store release remains dependent on delivery schedules. FR12.nl reported that it stays unclear whether remaining inventory in the physical store has already sold out completely.
Social Media Reactions Reveal Mixed Fan Sentiment Over Quality
While many supporters expressed enthusiasm on Instagram and X for the return of the 1990s kits, FCUpdate.nl documented sharp criticism regarding manufacturing quality under current partner Castore. Several fans drew unfavorable comparisons to the original Adidas-produced shirts of that era, with one commenter describing the new releases on Facebook as looking cheap and artificial, while others welcomed the retro aesthetic regardless.
Historic Triumphs of the 1992-1994 and 1998-1999 Seasons
The newly reissued home shirt commemorates a golden era under the ‘Stad Rotterdam Verzekeringen’ sponsor badge, during which Feyenoord claimed the 1993 Eredivisie title alongside KNVB Cups in 1992 and 1994. Meanwhile, the dark blue away kit with white accents represents the 1998/1999 championship campaign led by manager Leo Beenhakker. That squad, featuring players such as Jean-Paul van Gastel, Paul Bosvelt, Kees van Wonderen, and Bert Konterman, secured the league title with a fifteen-point margin over runners-up Willem II.
Prior Retro Collaborations With COPA and FOCO
This release marks the latest historical apparel drop for the club. FR12.nl noted that Feyenoord previously partnered with COPA in 2020 to release a retro version of the shirt worn during their 1970 European Cup victory. For the current 1990s collection, the production was handled in collaboration with American brand FOCO, according to FR12.nl and Headliner.
