Great knowledge, have also seen Zubizarreta wear a grey and navy Reusch shirt with some kind of swirl brushstroke pattern, also around 1991... though more often he wore the green Meyba shirt that he had used since 1986.
A lot of goalkeepers wore third-party shirts in Spain. Also strangely, local-supplier brands like Joma, Astore and Rasán did provide shirts, but one oddity that even now I can't fathom out was that they often wore shirts missing a number 1, even a good 20 years after most goalkeepers wore number 1!
In the English leagues yes Shilton often always wore his glove supplier's shirts at club level. There was also a brand called Scoreline who made many kits in the late 1980's, who, just like Line 7, they initially didn't provide goalkeeper shirts so it was not uncommon to see Reusch, Uhlsport or even Sondico shirts being used.
It was only since 1993/94 that goalkeepers in the top flight started wearing a full kit rather than the team mates' shorts and socks but there were a few exceptions... Football League clubs followed about 2-3 years later.
