Investment Grade — Why Vintage Kits Outperform the Market
"In the world of high-end collecting, the narrative is shifting. While traditional assets fluctuate, a new class of 'wearable history' has taken center stage: the Investment Grade football kit.
At Kit Culture Co., we don’t just see fabric and sponsors; we see timestamps of cultural upheaval and sporting brilliance. A 1988 Netherlands Home shirt or a 1994 Nigeria 'Super Eagles' grail isn't just a nostalgic throwback—it’s a scarce design artifact that has proven to appreciate in value year after year. As modern mass-production strips the soul out of kit design, the rarity and craftsmanship of the 90s and early Y2K eras have become the gold standard for collectors worldwide. Investing in the archive isn't just about owning the past; it's about securing a piece of the future of fashion."
