The retro green jersey, a reference to West Germany's 1990 World Cup win, does not meet the UEFA's Kit Regulations. According to Sky Sport and BILD, the jersey lacks space for the Nations League logo on the sleeves and a shirt number on the chest. Germany had planned to wear the retro green jersey in their debut match under new coach Jürgen Klopp. However, the UEFA has deemed the jersey non-compliant with their regulations.
As a result, the German team will wear a black jersey instead of the green one in the Johan Cruijff Arena. Germany will face the Netherlands in their debut match under Jürgen Klopp's leadership, with the team wearing a black jersey.
