“We don't wish to be visible during (the) tournament,” Hummel said. [Denmark](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/denmark-national-football-team) will wear team jerseys at the [World Cup](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/football-world-cup) that protest the [human rights](https://www.outlookindia.com/topic/human-rights) record of host nation Qatar, with a black option unveiled Wednesday to honor migrant workers who died during construction work for the tournament. Though FIFA's World Cup rules prohibit political statements on team uniform, the three Denmark shirt designs in all-red, all-white and all-black appear to comply with no words or symbols that are an explicit statement.

Manufacturer Hummel said the kit has a "dual message" to support the team and protest against Qatar's "human rights record".

To comply, Denmark's three designs -- in red, white, and black -- feature no words or symbols as an explicit statement. "We support the Danish national team all the way, but that isn’t the same as supporting Qatar as a host nation," it added. "While we support the Danish national team all the way, this shouldn’t be confused with support for a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives," the company said.

It has been accused of under reporting deaths on wider construction however. “I apologise to my friends in the national team because my hasty action caused bloggers to insult my teammates and disturb the peace and order within the team,” he wrote. “There was no pressure on me to write or delete an Instagram story,” he said, adding that “there is no division in the Team Melli”. “We urge the DBU to accurately convey the outcome of their extensive communication and work with the Supreme Committee, and to ensure that this is accurately communicated to their partners at Hummel.” The committee added that there has been “robust and transparent dialogue” with the Danish federation, the DBU, that had led to “a better understanding of the progress made”. “Like every country, progress on these issues is a journey without a finish line, and Qatar is committed to that journey,” said the statement. The committee said Qatar’s reforms had been “recognised” by some international human rights groups “as a model that has accelerated progress and improved lives”. In addition to the main red strip and a second jersey in white, a black and grey third strip was a sign of “mourning”, the kit company said. Qatar’s World Cup organisers, the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, gave a stern response that highlighted “significant reforms to the labour system” to protect workers and “ensuring improved living conditions for them.” “We don’t wish to be visible during a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives,” the company said in an Instagram post that referred to reports of casualties among migrant labourers working on Qatar’s mega infrastructure projects. Hummel said the new jerseys were “a protest against Qatar and its human rights record,” Hummel wrote in a post on Instagram. Qatar’s organising committee accused Hummel of “trivialising” the country’s efforts to improve conditions for migrant workers and called on the Danish federation to intervene.
