Germany changes shirt for Klopp's debut against Greece
Summary

Ahead of Jürgen Klopp's debut as Germany's national team manager, the team will wear black jerseys instead of the planned green retro shirt. UEFA banned the green jersey due to kit regulations requiring space for the Nations League emblem and visible player numbers. The DFB will now unveil the black shirt in upcoming home matches, starting on Sunday against Greece. Following that, Germany will play Serbia the following Thursday.
