Adidas stopped selling the German national football team jerseys with the number 44.
Adidas advised football fans against purchasing the German national football team jerseys with the number 44.
This action was taken after social media users pointed out the resemblance between the number and font on the Germany Euro 2024 jerseys and the symbol used by the Nazi SS units during World War II.
Adidas stated that it has blocked the customization of jerseys and their purchase with other numbers.
The most crimes against humanity by the Nazis were committed by the SS units.
This issue was initially raised by historian Michael König, who described the jersey design as very suspicious.
