Cunts I thought there was an irish link because I can't see any other connection between German football and the colour green ... at least the Italians honour their old royal family by using blue so that does have a relevance even though it's not on the flag Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home colours of white and black represent the state of Prussia (Berlin and Brandenburg), which was economically, politically and in footballing terms, the powerhouse in Germany before World War II. Ireland were in fact the fifth team to play the Germans after 1945. Switzerland were first (twice), then Turkey, Austria and then Ireland - in Dublin in October 1951 !

Also one close to the reasons why De Oirish, sympathising with Nazi Germany in their war with Britain, were referred to as the H***!!! Never forget.

They have worn different variations of the flag on their away kit (red/black/silver white) but as you say i cant see where other than the badge where the green comes in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
