Forest Green Rovers, known as the world's first vegan football club, have once again made headlines with their latest kit release. The League Two side has unveiled a bold new 'Woke Kit', designed to champion sustainability and social justice.
A Kit with a Message
The striking design features a vibrant green base with bold slogans such as 'One Planet, One Chance' and 'Unity Over Division' emblazoned across the fabric. The club has stated that the kit is more than just a uniform—it's a statement.
Sustainability at Its Core
True to their eco-friendly ethos, the kit is made entirely from recycled materials, including plastic bottles and coffee grounds. The manufacturing process also boasts a carbon-neutral footprint, aligning with the club's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
While many supporters have praised the club for its progressive stance, others have criticised the design as overly political. Social media has been abuzz with debates, with some fans calling it a 'step too far' and others hailing it as a 'breath of fresh air' in football.
What’s Next for Forest Green?
The 'Woke Kit' will debut in their upcoming match, and the club has announced that a portion of the proceeds from sales will go to charities focused on climate action and social equality. Whether you love it or hate it, one thing is certain—Forest Green Rovers are not afraid to make a statement.
