Following criticism of the design, the German Football Association has redesigned the number 4 on the national jersey! 

National player Bibiane Schulze Solano, who was substituted at half-time, wore the jersey with the redesigned number on Friday in the DFB team's 3-2 win over Austria in Linz. "We are very happy that it still worked out, and FIFA has already approved it," said the DFB on Saturday, referring to the world soccer association.

Last weekend, the sporting goods manufacturer Adidas and the DFB adjusted the sale of the jerseys. The back number 44 in the old design was reminiscent of the runes of the Schutzstaffel SS from the National Socialist era.

It was no longer possible to personalize the jerseys with your own name and number in the Adidas store on Monday afternoon, and the DFB stopped the delivery of ordered combinations with the 44 in its own online store.
