An Instagram post confuses Geissens fans: Can it really be that “Roberto Geissini” will provide the next national team jerseys?
A family like no other: The Geissens are known throughout Germany for their decadent lifestyle.
Expensive cars, designer fashion and vacations in the most beautiful places in the world are part of everyday life for this family.
They once laid the foundation for their wealth with the fashion brand “Uncle Sam” and today they continue to be in the textile business with “Roberto Geissini”.
“Roberto Geissini replaces Adidas” – Instagram page announces DFB cooperation
The Geissens themselves are probably the biggest fans of their fashion brand “Roberto Geissini” and wear the items every day.
In terms of style, the designs fit perfectly with the Geiss look with lots of skulls, rivets and crosses.
However, many fans think that “Roberto Geissini” is grossly overpriced; a T-shirt, for example, costs 75 euros.
There has also been a lot of discussion recently about the jerseys of the German national team: the new pink jersey for away games is met with incomprehension by many.
Now an Instagram account with the name “tagesscheiss” announces the following headline: “Roberto Geissini instead of Adidas – The DFB gives way after heavy criticism.
Now Robert Geiss' brand Adidas is supposed to replace." So will the Geissens soon be responsible for the DFB jerseys?
Instagram users fell for the joke post – “I keep falling for it”
No, “tagesscheiss” is actually a comedy site that repeatedly posts absurd news that is completely made up.
However, because the presentation is similar to that of the Tagesschau, it may take a moment until you understand that it is just a gag.
That's how some people felt about the "Roberto Geissini" jersey post.
“I thought it was real at first,” wrote one user, for example.
Some others even welcomed the DFB's decision.
“I would feel it” and “It would be better 👍🏼” are two of the enthusiastic comments.
And what do the Geissens themselves think about it?

Robert Geiss would certainly welcome such a cooperation, although he is not considered a big football fan himself.
He reposts the post with a laughing smiley, just like his wife Carmen Geiss, as MANNHEIM24 reports.
In reality, the Monegasques by choice are currently looking to expand their business in a different way.
Just last week the Geissens brought a new product onto the market.
