Wearing jerseys of football teams with crosses

Q: Does wearing jerseys of football teams when playing football with crosses like Portugal, Brazil, AC Milan, Barcelona, England or any other team etc. considered kufr or just sinful?

A: As far as possible, avoid any resemblance with the enemies of Allah Ta`ala. Allah Ta`ala has declared them as najas - impure and napaak. 

It is impermissible to wear such jerseys. It is compulsory to remove those crosses entirely. 

Definitely a person who likes those symbols will not remain in Islam for him having a deep attachment to kuffaar symbols.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
