"Adidas" will stop printing shirts with the number 44 for the German national team. The design, it is claimed, is too reminiscent of the SS inscription.
The German association added that it was not aware of the issue. Nike will clothe the national team at least until 2034, according to the announcement of the German association. Since 1954, the West German team has won four World Championships and three European Championships, with the women's team also winning the World Cup twice and the European Championship eight times.
