Adidas found themselves in deep water following the design of their Germany jersey for the 2024 Euros

The new kit sparked controversy after people pointed out how the number four on the new design had a striking resemblance to the logo used by the Nazi SS units.

After realising the blunder they made, Adidas and the German football team announced they would be redesigning the font of number four on the shirt.

In 2014 Palestino FC revealed their new kit for the upcoming season.

The shirt produced by Training Professional sparked debate as some numbers that featured on the kit were shaped to represent the map of Palestine before the creation of Israel.

The jersey also had a colour way which correlated with the colours of the Palestine flag.  

The Chile based club had the kit banned after just three games after they were first issued a fine following complaints made about the involvement of political and religious views.

Arguably the most famous football jersey to get banned and how the design got the green light for production in the first place is baffling.

The 1992-93 Fiorentina away shirt designed by Lotto at first just appeared like another quirky kit design as jersey manufactures tried to break the traditions of simple colour block and designs.

However on further inspection, the geometric shapes on the sleeves appeared to connect to create a Swastikas style design, the symbol which is widely known for its appropriation with the Nazis.

Soon after the connection was made Fiorentina stopped wearing the jersey for their away attire and Lotto stopped producing the shirt.
