While it is fun, trawling through vintage shops in a bid to find the perfect retro kit of your favourite sports team can be toiling and exhausting.
Equally, if you're looking to find something for your family or friends there is an awful lot of consideration to take when it comes to size, home or away kit, name on the back of the shirt etc – not to mention to hundreds of different memorabilia on offer beyond jerseys.
It's never easy, which is why 90min has complied a list with ten of the best pieces of West Ham merchandise you can buy on the internet, just to make your life that little bit easier. Whether it's a gift or a little something for yourself that you're after, we've got you covered.
Retro 1986 Shirt
It hasn't been the best of seasons for the Hammers this year, flirting with relegation and then seeing a Premier League winning manager lose his job after being unable to steady the ship.
So why not reminiscence about the good times when Tony Cottee was banging in goals for fun in Division One?
You can do that will this gorgeous 1986 retro home kit, because why wouldn't you? It's bloody lovely.
Available from Pro:Direct for £35.00.
Sterling Silver Stud Earring
How much do you love your club? Do you travel home and away, spending thousands of pounds even though your side is likely to lose each week? Hats off to you if you do.
But do you turn up to those games rocking a pair of sterling silver stud earrings with you club's logo on them? No, I didn't think so.
You bloody well should though. Not only will you show your dedication to your team, you'll look pretty badass while you do it.
Available from UK Soccer Shop for £10.79.
Personalised Key Ring
How often do you misplace your keys? Weekly? Daily? Hourly?
Well, no matter how often, you needn't anymore. Nope, grab yourself a personalised West Ham key ring and you needn't ever forget where you put them. I mean, how could you forget where you put yourself?
Stick your name on the back with your favourite number and you'll never lose those darned keys ever again.
Available from UK Soccer Shop for £8.96.
Home Shirt From 2000
Be honest, who hasn't tried to replicate Paolo Di Canio's magnificent volley against Wimbledon in 2000 at least 106 times?
It was, and still is, one of the best goals the Premier League has ever seen. The technique, the timing, the strike itself, every part was glorious.
So, why don't you go ahead and try recreating in your back garden once more with that memorable kit on? You've got no excuse, the spirit of Di Canio's playing days will live on in you when you pull that jersey on.
Available from Pro:Direct for £30.00.
Air Freshener
When you love football, you want to be around it all the time. It's totally understandable, we're all like that.
Even when you're driving in your car, stuck at the traffic lights, you'll find yourself excited - or nervous - about your club's next clash.
Well, why not soothe your mind with a lovely fresh smell in the air. What about, say, a West Ham smell? Go get one, you know you want to.
Available from UK Soccer Shop for £2.03.
Long-Sleeved Goalkeeper Shirt
Perhaps you may not be a goalkeeper down at your local Sunday league side, but this is the United Kingdom, and it gets cold.
For those treacherous months in the snow and rain, grab a long-sleeved goalkeeper jersey to keep warm during those frosty winter mornings. Or if you're a goalkeeper, you'll want one anyway!
This particular one is the 2019/20 home kit, and the funky pattern emblazoned across the chest looks both modern and smart.
Available from Pro:Direct for £55.00.
Presentation Jacket
Training gear always tends to look smart, and West Ham's presentation training jacket is no exception.
The zip-up jacket comes in the club's historic claret colour, with long sleeves to keep you warm during those jogs up and down the east London canals. Which you obviously do, right?
Whatever your need, grab one of these classy training tops and look the part wherever you are.
Available from UK Soccer Shop for £53.98.
Stress Ball
Based on this season in particular, one of these may very well come in handy.
Seen your side blow a two-goal cushion at home to relegation rivals Brighton? Yes, unfortunately for you Hammers, you have. Which is why you're better off bringing one of these with you to the London Stadium to keep your anger in check.
Take the stress away, even if it's only for a brief moment.
Available from UK Soccer Shop for £3.59.
Away Kit 2019/20
This is on here purely because it's a damned fine kit.
The jury is out on the Hammers' home strip, but there is no arguing that the away kit for this season is both clean and smart. Essentially all white, the little details on the collar and sleeves makes this an extra special strip.
It might be another season to forget in east London, but it's an away kit to remember.
Available from Pro:Direct for £60.00.
Teddy Bear
You're not truly a fan of a football club until you own a teddy bear with your side's logo on, are you?
Of course not, nobody is. With this mini bear you can join the club if you haven't already, as this cute little stuffed toy has the Irons' logo placed on his chest.
You know you want to.
Available from UK Soccer Shop for £6.75.
