Colombia 2014 Jersey: James's Shirt in Brazil and Where to Get It Today

The Colombia 2014 jersey is the yellow Adidas shirt in which James Rodríguez won the Golden Boot in Brazil with 6 goals in 5 matches, as the national team reached the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time. Today you can have it with James's number 10 and the inscription from the match against Uruguay, in 1:1 quality.

If you were a fan in 2014, you remember where you watched the Maracanã goal. That shirt isn't just yellow fabric: it's the World Cup where Colombia came back after 16 years away and showed the world its new number 10. Here's what the shirt had, who made it famous, and how to order yours without getting the size wrong.

What did the Colombia 2014 home yellow jersey look like?

Adidas unveiled it on November 7, 2013, and it went on sale in Colombia on November 8, according to El Colombiano. It was a tribute to the country with three hidden symbols:

  • The sombrero vueltiao: its woven pattern was drawn on the blue band across the chest, the same one that carries the crest.
  • The Andean condor: on the back, with the colors of the flag and the phrase #UNIDOSPORUNPAIS.
  • The white of peace: on the sleeves and collar.

The base was yellow, with the three blue stripes on the shoulders, a V-neck and red details. It came in two versions: the Climacool, for fans, at COP $169,900, and the Adizero, the players' version, which weighed just 100 grams, at COP $449,900. Those were the 2013 prices in the brand's stores.

Was the 2014 away jersey blue or red?

Red. Many people remember it as blue, but Colombia's second shirt for Brazil 2014 was red, with white stripes on the shoulders and a navy blue V-neck. It was unveiled in February 2014 and it was the first time since Italy 1990 that Colombia went back to red, according to the Football Shirt Culture archive. What was navy blue were the shorts.

The one that stayed in people's memory is the yellow one: it's the shirt James was wearing for the Maracanã goal.

Who wore the Colombia 2014 jersey?

José Pékerman's national team wore it, but James Rodríguez made it eternal, with the 10 on his back. He scored in all five matches Colombia played and won the Golden Boot ahead of Thomas Müller, who scored 5 goals for Germany:

Match Stage Result James's goals
Colombia vs Greece (Belo Horizonte) Group C 3-0 1
Colombia vs Ivory Coast (Brasília) Group C 2-1 1
Japan vs Colombia (Cuiabá) Group C 1-4 1
Colombia vs Uruguay (Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro) Round of 16 2-0 2
Brazil vs Colombia (Fortaleza) Quarterfinals 2-1 1, penalty

The goal everyone remembers is the first one against Uruguay, on June 28, 2014. Abel Aguilar headed it down, James controlled it on his chest, turned and hit a volley from outside the box; the ball went in off the crossbar. FIFA named it the best goal of the World Cup and later gave it the 2014 Puskás Award for goal of the year. Colombia won 2-0 and reached the quarterfinals for the first time in its history.

In the quarterfinals, host Brazil won 2-1 in Fortaleza. James scored a penalty and became the first Colombian to win a World Cup Golden Boot, according to ESPN.
