Black Tom was only one of a number of homeland attacks in retaliation to the British naval blockade of Germany. In New Jersey, on January 1, 1915, a fire took place at the Roebling Steel foundry in Trenton. And after the Black Tom incident, on January 11, 1917, a fire took place at the Canadian Car and Foundry plant in Kingsland. These facilities had contracts for goods being sent to the Allies. The US entered the war on the side of the Allies in April 1917, after numerous claims of German espionage and violations to American neutrality.
Want one? Find your 2010 Germany away jersey in our store. This came as a bit of a shock. Genuinely wasnr’t expecting to see a black Germany away shirt for this World Cup. But thatk’s exactly what wel’ve got. Seems to be a bit of a theme with adidas this year, as theye’ve also given Mexico black away shirts.
Overall I liked the 2006 jersey better, but it has become a little dated now. The 2008 jersey was just weird, but this 2010 jersey I think is quite classy. The black away jersey is nice too, but how often do you actually see Germany play in their away jerseys anyway. Thath’s why I bought the home one.
