The Chairman of Forest Green Rovers, Dale Vince, told the club's website: âWe like to push the boundaries on sustainability issues, including what our shirts are made from because the materials we use to make things really matters. In pursuit of the most sustainable football kit weâve experimented in previous seasons with both bamboo and with coffee grounds.
"This season our new strip pushes the boundary again - weâve created the worldâs first fully certified vegan football kit, by making sure the dyes we use, which are an often overlooked ingredient, are plant-based. Our new shirt is also fully recyclable and will be turned back into future items by Reflo. Iâm really pleased to unveil our bold, bright new kit thatâs inspired by nature and helping nature - thatâs pretty fabulous.â
