Adidas bans number 44 on German soccer jerseys over concerns it resembles Nazi SS symbol
[NYPost] Adidas has barred German fans from customizing soccer jerseys with the number 44 after concerns that the figures resembled the World War II-era Nazi SS symbol.

The German Football Association’s font used on the customizable jerseys on Adidas’ website makes the digit "44" look like the two lightning bolt-like designs featured in the flag of the Schutzstaffel, more commonly known as the SS — the major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler
...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like...
German historian Michael König drew attention to the shirt’s dubious design on X over the weekend.
