‘Caps to wear limited edition jerseys made from ocean plastic for Earth Day

Vancouver Whitecaps FC will be donning adidas Parley jerseys made from recycled ocean plastic in conjunction with MLS Works this Friday in Kansas City.

With Earth Day approaching this Sunday, April 22, MLS WORKS is hosting its third annual Greener Goals Week of Service. In partnership with Greener Goals Week of Service, MLS has collaborated with adidas to support Parley for the Oceans. In all Week 8 matches, MLS players will wear special adidas kits, built of technical yarns made using Parley Ocean Plastic™.

This collaboration was first introduced in 2017 when four MLS clubs – New York City FC, Orlando City SC, LA Galaxy and Seattle Sounders FC – played in the MLS x Parley kits on Earth Day, but this year the 2018 edition of the jerseys will be supported by all MLS clubs, coming in two minimalist colourways, non-dye and carbon, differentiating the two teams in each game.
