A well-known German company had to ban the sale of some T-shirts because of the numbers on the T-shirts.
The German company Adidas ended up in a small scandal with the new kit of the German national team. Or rather, the reason for this is not the quality of the T-shirts themselves, but the design of the numbers. It is not known which designer had the idea to make the number 4 in a new form like lightning.
That is why the number 44 began to remind many of the symbols of the SS division. The company quickly responded and removed the opportunity to order such a T-shirt.
Adidas employs people from around 100 countries, is a company committed to diversity and inclusion, and as a company we actively oppose xenophobia, anti-Semitism, violence and hatred in any form.
Any attempt to promote divisive or fringe views is not part of our values as a brand, and we strongly reject any suggestion that this is our intention. We will block number 44 as soon as possible,” said company spokesman Oliver Bruggen.
The German Football Association also confirmed that no player will wear the number 44. Interestingly, no one played under this number before the Bundestim.
We remind you that Paris has decided to tighten security measures at the opening of the Olympics.
