Shirts With Plastic Bottles Are Worn By Football Players

There are new shirts being worn in Portugal, Brazil, and Holland. The shirts have recycled plastic bottles on them. They are not the only ones to be wearing these new shirts. Slovenia, Serbia, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea and the USA will also be wearing them. Some say other states and teams might be joining in on it but they are not sure.

The shirts are made with polyester that is 100 per cent spun and the makers of the new green shirts is Nike. The shirts have at least eight bottles and then they have around 200 laser holes that are cut and very tiny on the shirts that helps with the flow of air and the players stay dry when they are playing.

Charlie Denson who is the brand boss said that Nike was really wanting to show their support with the environmental impact with the products. They are recycling around 13 million bottles with these products. Denson feels that the consumers should not be punished because they have picked environmental friendly products to use during the games. The main reason why is because the cost is a lot lower and that helps them out a lot.
