Germany presents the European Championship jerseys – one color surprised Suspected age fraud: Cameroonian Football Association suspends 62 players

The German national football team has always played in white. Manufacturer Adidas will not shake things up at home this summer at the European Championships. In this respect, the shirts that the German Football Association has now presented and that the national players will wear in the remaining test matches and then also at the European Championship offer little surprise.

Only the sleeves of the home shirts, which are otherwise almost entirely in the traditional ‘color’, are decorated with the national colors black, red and gold. “The whimsical color gradient on the shoulders is inspired by the feathers of the eagle,” says Adidas.

However, the Germans are breaking new ground when it comes to the away shirt. Previously this was mainly black and in exceptional cases, such as the World Cup victories of 1954, 1974 and 1990, green, but this time it runs from pink to purple. Adidas and the national team are creating something new. DFB star Florian Wirtz was happy with the bold design: “I think the away shirt is very cool! Something different and very special.”

However, the majority of fans commenting on social media are not particularly enthusiastic about the new creation. It bothers them that the colors have nothing to do with Germany. In contrast to the brightly colored away shirt, the simple and traditional home shirt is very well received. In the group match against Switzerland on June 23, Germany are expected to wear the white jerseys, even though they are considered an away team. After all, pink and purple probably clash too much with the red jerseys of Switzerland.

In the coming days, other European Championship participants – including France – are expected to present their jerseys for the upcoming tournament. It is not yet known when this will be the case in Switzerland. (NIH)
