The "88" number has been banned in Serie A!
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, from next season, players of Serie A clubs will be banned from using the number 88 shirts. 🫢
It is believed that such a refusal will support the "ethical and moral values of sport". The number "88" is a reference to the Heil Hitler greeting - H is the eighth letter of the Latin alphabet, so HH is 88
