Germany kit blocked over Nazi symbolism

Adidas has banned football fans from buying German football kits customised with the number 44, after media raised its resemblance to the symbol used by World War Two-era Nazi SS units.

“We will block personalisation of the jerseys,” an Adidas spokesman said. SS units were the most responsible for crimes against humanity committed by the Nazis.

The newly released kit has also caused controversy with its choice of pink for the away colours. The issue was first raised by historian Michael König, who said the design of the kits was “very questionable”. –  BBC Sport.
