Hummel tones down Denmark jerseys, releases black kits in Qatar World Cup protest

The Hindu  

Denmark will wear kits at the World Cup that were designed by manufacturer Hummel as a protest against Qatar’s human rights record ahead of the tournament, the sportswear company said on Wednesday. “We’ve toned down all the details for Denmark’s new World Cup jerseys, including our logo and iconic chevrons,” Hummel Sport said on Instagram. “We wish to make a statement about Qatar’s human rights record and its treatment of the migrant workers that have built the country’s World Cup stadiums.” Qatar’s World Cup organisers, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, said it disputed Hummel’s claim that “the tournament has cost thousands of people their lives”. Last week Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said FIFA’s partners and World Cup sponsors must urge world football’s governing body and the Qatari government to compensate migrant workers.
