The font design for the 44 jersey bears a resemblance to the 'lightning bolts' insignia of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS).
Adidas said it would stop the online sales of the number 44 German national team jersey due to its likeliness to a Nazi symbol forbidden in Germany.
Adidas spokesperson Oliver Bruggen stated, 'We will block the personalization of the jerseys in our online store.'
Adidas blamed the DFB and its partner 11Teamsport for the fonts of the names and numbers on the jersey.
