Officers from South Wales Police are urging anyone with information about what happened - or anyone who is offered Swans items for sale - to come forward.
The club said home and away kits has been taken, along with goalkeeper shirts and clothes from its blue leisurewear range
The shop - on Cwmdu Industrial Estate - is closed today while damage to the building is repaired and police carry out their investigation. It is expected to re-open on Friday.
It is not yet clear what type of vehicle was used in the attack
In a statement the club said: " Swansea City's Cwmdu store has been temporarily closed following a break in.
"A large number of stock has been stolen, and supporters should be aware of anyone selling our home, away and goalkeeper kits, along with the blue leisurewear range.
"This has forced us to close the store, but we hope to be open again on Friday following police investigations.
The club apologised to fans for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
A police spokesman said: "Police are appealing for information following a burglary at the Swansea City FC Shop in Cwmdu industrial Estate, Gendros.
