- Customized Germany Jersey Gifted: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz presented US President Donald Trump with a customized Germany national team jersey, featuring 'TRUMP' and the number 47, as a belated 80th birthday gift during the G7 summit in France.
- Jersey Features Inaccuracies: The gifted jersey contains several inaccuracies, including the use of an incorrect font for the lettering and numbers, the absence of the DFB logo on the numbers, and the omission of the smaller front number.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gifted US President Donald Trump a customized Germany national team jersey during the G7 summit in France. Presented as a belated 80th birthday gift, the shirt features the name "TRUMP" and the number 47 on the back, a nod to Trump's position as the 47th President of the United States.
Trump Germany Kit Features "Unofficial" Font
However, a closer look at the jersey reveals several glaring inaccuracies. The lettering and numbers use an incorrect font that does not match the official Adidas typography used by the national team. The DFB logo is visibly absent from the bottom of the numbers, and the smaller front number is missing entirely.
These discrepancies likely stem from current retail restrictions. The official Adidas online store does not allow arbitrary custom names and numbers, only offering pre-set official player selections. Meanwhile, custom names and numbers via the DFB store & 11Teamsports are said to come with this unofficial font.
Should Germany have got the official name and number typeface? Let us know in the comments below.
