The German Football Association has presented a home kit for all national teams, with which the men will play at the World Cup in Qatar in winter and the women at the 2023 World Cup in Australia. “It’s a cool and strong sign,” said Vice European Champion Lina Magull from FC Bayern Munich, according to a DFB announcement on Monday. “This jersey symbolizes that we all stand for one football, live the same values together and have one goal.”
The white jersey, which was designed by the sporting goods manufacturer Adidas and has a wide black stripe in the middle, celebrates its premiere in the women’s World Cup qualifier on Saturday in Turkey. The distinctive stripe was inspired by the very first Germany jersey from 1908, the DFB announced.
While the DFB women will continue to keep the current mint green away jersey, there will be a new jersey with a red and black pattern on the front for the men for the World Cup in Qatar.
“I really like the new home shirt. The color combination harmonises, it will be an honor to play for Germany in this jersey at the World Cup,” said national player Serge Gnabry. (dpa)
