Gaudy or golden? Ghana wore this bright sensation as they came agonisingly close to becoming the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, denied by the width of a crossbar.
With the Black Stars and Uruguay tied at 1-1 deep into added time at the end of extra time, Luiz Suarez saw red after using his hands on the line to deny Ghana a certain goal. But Asamoah Gyan's penalty clipped the bar and went over, allowing the South Americans to triumph, ironically via a shootout.
"Once the fans see it, they remember the Uruguay game," midfield legend Michael Essien told BBC Sport Africa.
"I think it was a great shirt, the players loved it," added the former Chelsea man, while also cheekily suggesting it's figure-hugging design meant you had to be "well-built" to look good in it.
