field players.

As a result new t-shirts were used and players were advised to keep the same jersey number throughout the tournament. Squad numbering system somewhat reduces the importance of numbers, but sales of football jerseys model of the World Cup teams increased dramatically this year.

In 1993-'94 season shirts had two names and number of players in Europe, while Americans have adopted the same system in 1994 during the World Cup held in the states.
