JPD wears #72 on his New Orleans Aints shirt

Yep; I bet Skippy does too.
Patrick Dewael, the Belgian minister of the Interior, has forbidden the wearing of football shirts displaying the numbers 18 and 88. According to the Liberal minister the number 18 stands for “Adolf Hitler” and the number 88 for “Heil Hitler.” A is the 1st letter of the alphabet, H the 8th.
Paul Belien makes exactly the point that came to mind.
The numbers 37 (Che Guevara) or 13 (Mao) are not forbidden. Neither are the popular T-shirts with Che Guevara’s portrait.
72 has to be next.

Hat tip Brussels Journal.
