Overview

• Illegal street vendors in Mallorca are selling pink 'Führer' jerseys featuring Nazi-coded numbers 44 and 88 for 27 euros each, despite intensified police raids.
• The jerseys reference far-right symbols: 44 evokes SS runes, while 88 is a code for 'Heil Hitler,' yet Spanish law only prohibits such sales if tied to incitement of violence or discrimination.
• German tourists are the primary buyers, with some reportedly finding the jerseys amusing, despite widespread public outrage and criticism.
• Street vending on Mallorca is banned, leading vendors to hide the jerseys when police are present, though demand remains high among tourists.
• Adidas and the German Football Association previously banned personalization of the number 44 on national team jerseys in 2024 after backlash over its SS-like font.
