(Reuters) - Hummel have toned down the details on Denmark's World Cup jerseys and also released a black kit to protest against Qatar's human rights record ahead of the tournament, the sportswear company said on Wednesday.

The new red kit is inspired from their Euro 92 success when Denmark won their only major title, but has its logo and details barely visible. An all black design, which Hummel said signifies the"colour of mourning", will be their third kit in Qatar.

"We wish to make a statement about Qatar's human rights record and its treatment of the migrant workers that have built the country's World Cup stadiums." The government has said its labour system is a work in progress, but denied a 2021 Amnesty report that thousands of migrant workers were still being exploited.

The DBU said their two training kit sponsors would make way for messages critical of Qatar while they will also minimise the number of trips to the country to avoid commercial activities that promote the World Cup hosts' events.
