don't get it. i mean that's the reason. the goalie's shirt has to be a diff colour to his team and to the other team, even the ref.
 
Plus most wear longsleeve since they are going muddin' every now and then :)
 
It's to make it easier for the referee to correctly judge the hand-ball rule. If the goalie jumps for the ball in a crowd and one of the other players illegally touches the ball with his arm, it's easy for the referee to see that a foul has been committed - because the goalie's arms are a different color to the other players.

If the goalie gets injured and there are no more substitutes so that he has to be replaced by an outfield player, that player has to put on a goalkeeper's jersey.
