Kit manufacturer Hummel have released two striking statements to explain why the Denmark strips that will be worn at the World Cup are a protest against the human rights record of Qatar.
The brand said they have toned down all the details for the jerseys, including the familiar white chevrons that appear on the sleeves and the Denmark crest, because they “do not wish to be visible during a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives.”
The announcement comes at the conclusion of an international break in which football associations, including England’s, were accused of not taking a strong enough line against the fight for equality.
