This shirt was worn during Jamaica's only ever world cup. Jamaica now are probably more well known for their bobsleigh team and if you haven't seen the movie "Cool Runnings" about the Jamaican bobsleigh team then you really should. Everyone recently wanted to be Jamaican after their success in the 100 metre sprint at the Olympics with Usain Bolt winning the gold medal again. Jamaica have only ever qualified once for the world cup in 1998 where they wore this shirt.

This shirt for some reason does not have a manufacturers logo on the front like the majority of football shirts but I've been told that plays of the Chad national team have said it is official. The shirt came from another shirt collector called Sascha whose collection you can see by clicking on the link at the bottom right of this blog.

The United States are probably more famous for their American sports such as baseball, ice hockey, basketball and American football but the game of soccer has become more popular in the last few years in the USA. It is apparently the most played sport in the country now and is attracting more and more fans to games. USA have 4 Gold Cup wins to their name and shocked most people by beating Spain in the 2009 Confederations Cup before losing in the final.

Ghana Home 1994

Flag of Ghana

Biggest loss: Bulgaria 10-0 Ghana (1968)

Most capped: Richard Kingson (90 caps)

Top scorer: Abedi Pele (33 caps)

Star player: Asamoah Gyan (Al-Ain)


This is one of the wonderfully designed football shirts from the early 90's. Although their is no badge on the shirt of Ghana, if you look at pictures you'll see that at the time they did not wear a badge on the kit so this shirt is authentic. Around this time Abedi Pele played for Ghana who you may notice from the Classic XI on a few of the games within the FIFA series. A very unique shirt that I now own.
