Unlocking classic kits in on PC today is a bit different than it was back in 2013. Since the official EA Sports servers are now offline, the traditional method of using the "Catalogue" is generally inaccessible.
Here is how you can still unlock them for your offline play.
Method 1: The "Traditional" Way (If servers/profile cache permit)
Historically, classic kits were tied to your EA Sports Football Club (EASFC) level. If you are playing an old save or have a profile that previously accessed the catalog, you might still see these options:
Navigate to the Main Menu: Go to the "Football Club" tab and select Catalogue.
Filter by Gameplay: Use the bumpers (RT/R2) to scroll to the Gameplay tab.
Purchase Kits: Classic kit bundles (like the Premier League or Bundesliga historic sets) could be bought using Football Club Credits (FCC) earned through gameplay.
Redeem: Once purchased, the kits automatically appear in the kit selection screen for Kick-off, Career Mode, and Ultimate Team. Method 2: Offline Mods (Recommended for 2026)
Since the official Catalogue is largely broken for legacy titles, most PC players use community-made mods to unlock everything at once. How To Unlock Classic Kits In FIFA 14 how+to+unlock+classic+kits+in+fifa+14+pc+offline+full

Redeem with FCC: Browse the kits (such as the Premier League or Bundesliga historic bundles) and purchase them using Football Club Credits (FCC) earned by playing any game mode.
Selection: Once redeemed, the kit would appear in the kit selection screen for Kick-off, Career Mode, or Ultimate Team. 2. The Offline/PC Solution: Modding & File Editing
Because the Catalogue is now locked, PC users must use external tools or community-made patches to access this content offline.
