The Colombia 1990 GK Retro Football Jersey recreates the distinctive goalkeeper shirt associated with René Higuita during the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. One of the most unconventional goalkeepers of his generation, Higuita started all four of Colombia's matches as the South American side progressed to the Round of 16.
Colombia opened the tournament with a 2–0 victory over the United Arab Emirates before facing Yugoslavia and eventual champions West Germany. A dramatic late equaliser against West Germany secured Colombia's place in the knockout stage, where their campaign eventually ended after extra time against Cameroon.
Higuita's fearless approach, willingness to play outside his penalty area and unique interpretation of the goalkeeper position made him one of the defining personalities of Colombia's celebrated 1990 generation.
This jersey uses authentic period-style number-only printing, reflecting the original match shirts of the era. Player names are not included on the back.
