This is the first episode of a weekly column that, every Wednesday, will take us to the discovery of the most beautiful football shirts of the past (and of the present). It is made with the collaboration of Classic Football Shirts, the greatest retailer of football shirts in the world.

Today we go back to the heart of the '90s, during the American World Cup so painful for the Italian fans. At the time, Roberto Baggio was probably one of the best players in the world, Yugoslavia was excluded from the competition for reasons linked to the war and the United States started their process of football integration that led to the MLS' birth. 

"Made by adidas. This classic soccer jersey with its memorable stripes took inspiration from the star spangled banner for the 1994 World Cup final hosts, USA. USMNT went out to eventual winners Brazil in the knock out stages but this great shirt will be remembered fondly for heroic performances from the likes of Roy Wegerle, Alexi Lalas, Tab Ramos and Marcelo Balboa during the tournament".
