    Oh no! I wonder where they got that idea from, even the socks are the same.

    Even the collar is the same, the only difference I can see is the hoops dont go all the way around and the arm cuffs are solid red on ours and they have red piping instead.

    Yes indeed - perhaps Lotto had an an overstock of these shirts and flogged them on the cheap to Adidas, who just had to re-brand them?

    They say it's Nike (the one's who have talked to Tone). Adidas would be my choice, going by this design they would do a fantastic job imo.

    Like the design but dislike the red/black colours which never represented Germany as far as I know.

    Perhaps this was the effect they were going for?

    Well Im glad i wasnt alone, Germany have had red with black trim and also black with red trim away kits but I think this may be the 1st kit with both colour featuring prominently which is what I think he was getting at but they had this in 2008.

    Yes that is the Euro 2008 2nd kit.

    I own this one, from their World Cup campaign at home in 2006. A much better design imo.

    From 1954 to 1994 the German 2nd kit was green and white. Between 1996 and 2002 it was grey'ish and white. They started wearing the red, black and white combo in 2005 and until today. Except in the 2010 WC (black and white w/red trim) and Euro 2012 (green and white).

    Ive alwayss like the ajax type kits, I wouldnt be adverse to having a green one with a gold caterham stripe in the middle or even a black kit with a Dortmund type dayglo yellow in the middle.

    I should design kits, I could come up with some amazing 3rd ones for us!

    Hey Buthead. Is it true that the traditional green away jersey is so coloured because Ireland were the first team to play you after the war?

    Historically, green shirt with white shorts is the most often used alternative colour combination, derived from the DFB (see below) colors (and the ones of a playing field), though it is also reported that the choice is in recognition of the fact that Ireland, whose home shirts are green, were supposedly the first nation to play Germany in a friendly game after World War II. This is false, as their first match after WWII was in fact against Switzerland.

    Funny story (if true, we're ****ed):
    A change, from black to red, came in 2006 on the request of Jürgen Klinsmann, citing that teams in red are statistically more successful, and perceived as more intimidating.
