DFL Forces Player Volunteers to Blackout Boots With Tape in German Supercup Final
Update: It were not the player escorts kids who were forced to blackout their boots but volunteers who carried out stuff and waved flags ahead of the match.
German football league DFL has forced the players escorts kits to use black tape in order to 'unbrand' any shoes that do not feature the Three Stripes.
