Arsenal's Eco-Friendly 125th Anniversary Away Kit

It's no secret I LOVE Arsenal FC and I am, despite their recent disappointing perfomances, a loyal fan, for better or for worse. Well, now I have another reason to support the English team, they've gone eco-friendly! Following in the steps of Barcelona, the new Arsenal away kit, their 125th anniversary away kit to be more specific, is made out of recycled plastic bottles!

It's definitely different than their usual kits, but I do like it for a change. Check out the picture & video below...

 




What do you think? Eco-friendly kits are surely becoming a trend in football, and we couldn't be any happier about it!

Barcelona's New Eco-Friendly Kits

First of all, congratulations to Barcelona, the UEFA Champions League Winners 2011! While battling it out against Manchester United this Saturday, the Spanish football club showcased their skills and put on a great performance to secure their reign and defeat United to get the prestigious title and trophy.

Earlier this month, Barcelona unveiled their new kits for the upcoming season and there are major differences. First, the away kit is surprisingly all black. Also, the UNICEF logo, which is usually on the front, is now moved to the back and instead 'Qatar Foundation' is printed across the front of the shirt. Most importantly, the team's new kit is made from Nike's revolutionary recycled polyester.

'The kit is made up of up to thirteen reclaimed plastic water bottles. This new manufacturing process reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to manufacturing traditional polyester and saves nearly 100 million plastic water bottles from being dumped at landfill sites.'

Let's hope this starts a trend with all other football teams!

Just Another Thing To Do in Manchester

The most obvious thing to do in this city? Watch a Manchester United game live at Old Trafford! Better yet? A Manchester United vs. Arsenal game live!!! Ironically, Alyazia happens to be a Man Utd supporter while I am a loyal Arsenal fan. Check out some pics of the game on Saturday.

Man Utd warming up.

After their first goal.

74000+ crowd... Insane!

Arsene Wenger.

Rooney!

Even though, to Alyazia's delight, Manchester United won, it was still an amazing experience. Very exciting and the atmosphere was electrifying, especially when they scored... Yet another memory to cherish! :)

Love,
Anoud
