The Adidas company has decided to stop the online sale of jerseys of Germany with the number 44. The reason is the design of the number, 4 which is very similar to the letter S and 44 is also being interpreted as an "SS", a symbol of the paramilitary organization of the Hitler Party.
The news has been confirmed by the German daily "Bild", which managed to extract a statement from the Adidas brand spokesperson, Oliver Brugen, who clarified that the resemblance was not tendentious at all.
" We have removed from sale the shirt with the number 44 of Germany. I can tell you that the design was prepared by the German Federation itself and the similarity was accidental, not tendentious ", said the Adidas spokesperson.

On the other hand, the German Football Federation announced that it is working with the relevant company to prepare another design for the number 4, so that the idea of similarity with the letter S is not created.
Until then, the number 44 shirt will no longer be available to order on Adidas' online sales page, to avoid misunderstandings with the Nazi symbol.
