At the 1998 World Cup, Brazil's goalkeeper Taffarel guarded the net in this retro jersey. The team advanced comfortably from the group stage with two wins and one draw, then shut out Chile and Denmark in the knockout rounds. In the semifinal penalty shootout, he saved a crucial kick from the Netherlands, propelling Brazil to the final. Though Brazil ultimately fell to France in the final, Taffarel's multiple spectacular saves became tournament highlights, his composed performance continuing the legendary legacy of Brazilian goalkeepers.
Crafted by Nike, the jersey features a deep green base accented by vibrant yellow stripes on the shoulders and cuffs, echoing Brazil's traditional colors. Its retro crew neck and minimalist cut showcase the embroidered team crest and five stars on the chest, symbolizing the team's championship legacy. The design recreates the classic texture of 1990s goalkeeper gear, blending protective functionality with visual impact.
For fans, it stands as a dual testament to Taffarel's legendary World Cup journey and Brazil's runner-up campaign, embodying both the triumphs and regrets of 1990s Samba football. Its distinctive black, white, and yellow color scheme ensures unmistakable recognition. As a classic World Cup goalkeeper jersey, it blends tournament narrative with collector's rarity—a prized piece showcasing the goalkeeper's position in retro jersey collections and a vital tribute to Brazilian football's golden era.
