“Flop”, “ugly”, “scandal”: the German European Championship jersey causes anger among fans

Florian Wirtz is happy with the new away shirt.

In the summer, Germany wants to climb the European football throne for the fourth time after 1972, 1980 and 1996. Now the hosts of the European Championship present their new jerseys. The two variants could hardly be more different from each other.

The home shirt is white. On the shoulders, the color gradient in black, red and gold is reminiscent of eagle wings. The player numbers are printed in a 3D 90s style. This is well received by the fans. Under the DFB team’s Instagram post you can read comments like “great”, “wicked nice” or “so legendary”. There are few people who don’t like it. It looks different with the away shirt.

“Truly extraordinary”

This is pink with a gradient to dark purple and is intended to “represent the new generation of German football fans and the diversity of the country”, as the German Football Association (DFB) said in a statement. A diamond-shaped pattern on the chest is also reminiscent of eagle wings; the font does not have the 3D effect.

«I think the away shirt is very cool! “Something different and really special,” says national player Florian Wirtz (20) in the statement. An opinion that only a few fans share. On Instagram they wonder why it actually has to be pink and describe the sweater as a “scandal”, “an impertinence”, “absolutely ugly” and “sucks”.

Main point of criticism: The color has nothing to do with Germany. Instead, someone says, “It’s more like Carnival.” Another comment goes further: “We should be ashamed of the away shirt.” And someone prophesied, “The whole world will mock us again because of this.”

In pink against the national team?

The jerseys will be used for the first time in the friendly matches against France (March 23) and the Netherlands (March 26). Women will also wear them in the future. However, they continue to wear green only the home shirt when they are not at home.

The shirt will be seen for the first time at the European Championship in the opening match against Scotland (June 14, 9 p.m.). In the three group matches, Germany will only play as an away team once: on June 23 (9 p.m.) against Switzerland. The question is whether the pink jersey will be used. Because if the national team played in red, it would be a hassle. (beer)
