Adidas has banned fans from buying German football kits with the number 44 over apparent confusion with Nazi era SS units.
Germany’s latest Adidas football jersey is set to undergo a major redesign after a controversial detail whipped around social media.
The SS was a paramilitary force charged with implementing the genocide of millions of Jews across Europe. In a post on Twitter/X, the DFB said the shirt designs had been submitted to UEFA for review during the design process and that “none of the parties involved saw any proximity to Nazi symbolism”.The away version of the kit which is pink has also attracted some controversy. The colour is said to represent diversity.
