negdje sam čitao zanimljivo objašnjenje gdje je nestao Nationalmannschaft:
sve generacije Elfa nakon 1945. su bile krajnje neprijateljski dočekivane širom svijeta.

Bila je priča da su Irci prvi koji su igrali s njima nakon rata i da u čast Irskoj Elf ima zelenu boju kao rezervnu boju dresa. Ta je priča još od prije Interneta pa ne znam koliko je pouzdana,

Nisu. Evo ti malo o tome.
But green? Why green? As "marianken" pointed out, there's a theory that says Ireland are to blame. It's a surprisingly persistent and widespread rumour considering how patently it is nonsense. Ireland weren't "the first country to agree to play Germany after the war," they weren’t even the second or the third. West Germany's first three opponents after the war were Switzerland (twice), Turkey and Austria, all of whom often wear red. So maybe there is something to be said for this away colour after all.
However, these countries don't always wear red. When Turkey played West Germany in Berlin on June 17, 1951, the visitors wore white shirts (with a single red hoop) and white shorts. The Germans meanwhile wore green shirts and green (not white, as would become the norm later) shorts, plus green-and-white socks. It was the first time the team used this colour, exactly four months before they travelled to Dublin.
The reason the German second kit used to be green and white is that these are the official colours of the German FA (DFB) since around 1925. Opinion is divided over why exactly the DFB changed its look at that point and replaced the colours of the Reich with the much less symbolically charged green and white. The matter is made the more confusing by the fact that the logo -- in which the letters D, F and B were black, white and red -- remained unchanged until April 1940, when the DFB (like all other sports governing associations) was dissolved because athletic activities were controlled and organised by the party and the state.
