The EURO2020 goalkeeper kit parade Journey through the Europeans and the lost aesthetics of goalkeeping

The golden era for goalkeepers kits started from the early 1990s to the early 2000s.
It is impossible to forget the USA 94 kits or those of clubs like Parma, which have remained engraved in our memory. The jersey followed and still follows different aesthetic canons from the rest of the team, designed with colours that deviate from the official chrome. But over time this aesthetic has evolved, as has the role of the goalkeeper. Nowadays the goalkeeper covers larger portions of the field, he is no longer confined to his own area, proof of this is Ederson, who this season alone in the Premier League has made two assists with an average of 28 passes per game. The evolution of this role has gone hand in hand with the aesthetics and design of the jerseys. The oversized, super-coloured uniforms that we all dreamed of have given way to super-technological, breathable and above all monochrome and often fluorescent slim-fit models.

Now we come to the brands that have only one representation, namely Hummel (Denmark), Jako (North Macedonia) and Joma (Ukraine). Even these jerseys do not shine for aesthetics and creativity, following the trend of the other national teams the jerseys are almost always monochrome, not fluorescent and not very bright accompanied by timid patterns to make them more attractive.
