Wrong, wrong, wrong… but it is reversible.
We are not sure about the timing of this jersey launch – why not wait until the qualifiers are over?
Germany are not waiting until they actually qualify for Euro 2016.
In keeping withe the practice of European football clubs, to release new home and away jerseys every 12 months, the Germans, in league with adidas, have released this doozy [below].
Muddy green sleeves with two-tone grey stripes down the torso. Madness.

Here is some of the marketing spin on a truly reckless jersey.
‘Mainly dark grey with subtle hoops, combined with neon green applications and hi-vis yellow details, drawing inspiration from street football… The new jersey can be reversed to boast the striking main color neon green, designed to be used as a bib.
‘The back of the neckline shows the writing “Bolzen. Pöhlen” (German words for street football).’
So confident were adidas in their design that they have come up with a neon green back-up plan.
