Unfortunately it does look like it, change the font and they are good to go

i first thought this was a april fools joke but it is serious?


well no one has number 44 jersey anyway so not that big of a deal, just bad for business and yes it does look a little similar

I saw Parmy's avatar before this thread and thought it was deliberately an SS logo.

Thankfully no one gives a ******* about the olympics anymore

just one of the biggest sports events in every 4 years, no one really cares about that :laugh:


and summer olympics more important to TeamGB than winter olympics (for now, maybe Kersten, Smeding can step things up at the speed skating, move to better teams in my nation to train so the winter games can also become more interesting in more sports for TeamGB)

[Nicky91]

also this is purely for merchandise, as there are no players with no.44 at euro cups or world cups

you only have no.4, 14, 24 and those aren't similar to the SS symbol i think


idk who even thought of creating no.44 jersey in the first place, that one should be sacked by Adidas :joker:

Meanwhile in London this symbol can be flown on a flag and a Met policeofficer tells a Jewish woman it has to taken in context.....in context of what I have no idea and neither does he

It really highlights a 2 tier policing and how ignorant to historical events some younger police can be. Totally unwilling to listen as well.

It reminds me of those University women who kept saying "it depends on the context" when being asked by some Republican woman about "is it okay to call for genocide of Jewish people on campus?" Absolutely wild to have a spin-off.:joker:
