The technical sponsor of the national football team Adidas has blocked the number 44 on the Bundestim uniform due to its similarity to the symbol of Nazism. Sport Bild reports this.

According to Dzherela, through the new font on the game jerseys, number 44 suggests the rune “zig”, which in the 30s and 40s of the last century served as a symbol of the SS fighters.

Players would normally not be able to select a number through the tournament rules, otherwise players would be unlikely to be able to get a T-shirt with number 44. The protean company Adidas believed that this was not to blame but blocked the number applied to it.

Guess what, Nimechchina has collected more of its own at the home Euro 2024 from Group A. The national teams of Scotland, Ugria and Switzerland will become the rivals of Julian Nagelsmann's students..
