Partnering with Umbro, Forest Green Rovers Unveils Bamboo Fabric Kits for the 2024/2025 Season
In collaboration with official kit collaborator Umbro, the club has launched their new kits made from bamboo fabric. Not only are they environmentally friendly, but they also feature climate change data etched onto a hidden band in the neck lining and along the side seam.
Leading the Way in Climate Awareness
Forest Green Rovers has also joined forces with the University of Reading’s Show Your Stripes campaign to raise awareness about the climate crisis. The kits feature a graphic from climate scientist Ed Hawkins, showcasing the rise in global temperatures, and a graph from University of Derby professor Miles Richardson, depicting the loss of UK wildlife.
Two Colorways for Different Occasions
The new kits come in two colorways – pink for away games and green for training. Not only do they look stylish, but they also serve as a reminder of the urgent need for global climate solutions.
“Transforming Each Match into an Opportunity to Inspire Action”
According to Forest Green Rovers chairman Dale Vince, sustainability is at the core of everything the club does. And with these new kits, they hope to continue raising awareness and inspiring action against climate change.
“Football Unites People, and Now It Can Unite Fans in the Fight Against Climate Change”
Climate scientist Ed Hawkins also believes that football has the power to bring people together and make a difference. He states that the new kits will turn players and supporters into climate ambassadors, using the sport as a platform to address the urgent issue of climate change.
