Manufacturer: Reusch
Glove Name: International (Europe) Meola (USA)
First Year Made: 1989
Glove Cut: Rollfinger
Description:
THE first rollfinger glove. Not just an innovative glove, but a fantastic performing one as well. Introduced the cut that is now the first choice for many goalkeepers around the world.
Got my vote. Was it really the first roll finger? I loved the glove but hated the name (US version).
Talk about a glove that changed the game, this is it. We all make fun of reusch from time to time because of the crazier gimic's they come up with (see 2 action glove), but every once in a while, they hit a home run, and the International with its rolled fingers is a home run if I ever saw one. I voted yes not only because of it's influence on the market, but the glove itself was brilliant.
A definate yes but I think van Breukelen pioneered these a year earlier at the 1988 Euros.....also the big problem with reusch is the actual names of the gloves they seem to vary from market to market (even country to country) and I feel this stops them gaining the 'icon' status many say uhlsport gloves have gained through their identity....
Quite possible Sepp, but reusch did not actually release the gloves to the public until 89'. It was not in the reusch german, or euro catalog until 1989.
I voted yes. I know people are partial to the Reusch arrow but I think they should bring back the double "reusch" name look, at least across the knuckles.

I totally agree...It is still my favorite looking of the retro gloves.
Voted yes for the fact that they were the first roll finger glove and I think that is a huge thing in itself.

same here !
Would love to hear why someone would vote no on this glove...Is it personal prefference, is it a belief that the glove did not shape things to come? BTW, we can tell who voted what, I just want to hear the reasoning behind the no's
Double stitching on the middle fingers too! Thought that was a recent thing with roll finger gloves!
Yes, too young to have used them but you cant keep out the first roll fingers!
Hundred percent yes. These are beautiful gloves. I prefer the stitching on the middle fingers on the outside as well.
Vote yes, because in this time reusch did a really great job with goalkeepergloves!!! greets Basti from www.pimp-my-gloves.de
I was waiting on this thread. knew this one was coming... this was my first "expensive" gk glove and I would still wear it today if I could. I currently wear the Serie A which is as close as you can get now. I would love to see the Reusch double logo come back as well
