Arsenal FC has announced they will be playing the next season in a home kit made out of recycled bottles.

They say they have got a ‘traditional’ design made with the latest cutting edge technology.

Every shirt which will be entirely made from recycled polyester, from up to eight plastic water bottles. It will be part of the Nike’s ‘Considered Design’ programme, which uses discarded plastic bottles that have been diverted from landfill in the manufacturing process.

The shirt is now 13% lighter than any previous kit and helps quickly evaporate moisture by drawing it through the fabric to the surface.

England and Arsenal winger Theo Walcott summed the new kit up: “The colours are very traditional, it feels nice and it’s made from recycled plastic bottles so what more can you ask for?

“It fits and feels nice, and that’s the most important thing, I think it’s important that you feel comfortable in it.”
