10 incredible jerseys from USA '94 goalkeepers From the aesthetics of Gianluca Pagliuca to the colors of Jorge Campos

The 1994 US World Cup marked an era. Beyond the football played, that edition reinvented the aesthetics of the sporting event and forever marked the aesthetic revolution of jerseys. There is one category in particular that changed the stylistic canons from USA '94 onwards: goalkeepers. Their uniforms - colorful, very wide and at times very clumsy - have ended up in the history books, with Umbro and adidas among the brands that have dared the most. The greatest goalkeepers in the world championship that followed the Italian one were immortalized with the most incredible kits ever.

1994 meant a lot for football. He reiterated the supremacy of Brazil, he reinforced the idea that "we must not be afraid to take a penalty kick, because it is not by these details that a player is judged" to put it in the words of De Gregori. The 94,000-plus spectators of Pasadena's Rose Bowl transported a football event into a new dimension - just the fourth-most-attended final ever. But above all he taught us that goalkeeper uniforms can be something aesthetically out of the ordinary.
