About this shirt

The West Ham United shirt from 2008. Sizes S-XXL. Worn in the Premier League.

The first season with SBOBet on the front, replacing XL — which makes this shirt easy to date even without the season label.

West Ham United in 2008

The Zola years began — the era of the young Noble and Tomkins cores, two seasons after the Gerrard final of 2006.

West Ham United in the archive

Home, away and third kits, plus kids kits, with retro seasons making up most of the range. All listed by year. Claret and blue, with the claret body and blue sleeves that make the shirt identifiable at a glance. Three FA Cups. Our range spans 1986 to the current 2026/27 kits and is heavily retro-weighted — roughly two thirds of the West Ham shirts we hold are from past seasons. Home, away and third kits, plus kids kits. Every listing states the season and whether the shirt is a standard or player-version cut.

Printing, delivery and returns

Name and number printing is free on this shirt. For a shirt of this season that means the lettering of the period, not a modern typeface — a 1996 England shirt takes the block of that summer, a late-nineties Serie A shirt the league numerals it was designed around. We hold period sets as well as current league and tournament fonts. Choose a squad player and the number is applied as issued, or send any name and number you want. Printing adds one to two working days before dispatch, and printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty — if unsure of the size, order it plain and we print it afterwards for the same price. Full detail on the printing page.

Tracked as standard, everywhere — packed flat between card, never folded into a bag. Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery.

Service	Time	Cost
Standard tracked	7–14 days	£3.95
Orders over £30	7–14 days	Free

The same rate applies to every country: free over £30, otherwise £3.95, tracked, in the same 7–14 days. Orders outside the UK may attract import duty on arrival, which is the customer’s responsibility. Full tables on the shipping page.

30 days from delivery to change your mind — longer than the 14-day statutory minimum. Email hello@shirt-archive.com with your order number before posting anything back; send it unworn with tags attached, and the refund goes to the original payment method within five working days of arrival. If we sent the wrong thing, postage is on us both ways. Full policy on the returns page.

Common questions

Which season is this West Ham United shirt from?

This is the 2008 shirt. The season is stated on every listing and on the order confirmation, so what arrives is the season named here, not a current substitute.

What size should I order?

Sizes run S-XXL. Measure pit to pit on a shirt you own and compare it with the chart above — between sizes, take the larger.

Can I get a name and number printed on it?

Yes — free, applied before dispatch, which adds one to two working days. Printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty, so if you are unsure of the size, order plain and we print it afterwards for the same price.

How quickly will it arrive?

Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery, everywhere. Standard tracked is £3.95, and orders over £30 ship free to every country. Everything is tracked, including international.

Will a retro shirt fit like a modern one?

No — shirts of this era were cut looser. A nineties Large sits closer to a modern Medium, which is why the flat measurements above matter more than the size on the label.
