So far 7.5 billion of plastic bottles have been diverted from landfills and waterways. Since 2010, Nike has been using recycled polyester to produce football kits as well as Flyknit yarns for the footwear. Chelsea FC Official Keyboard is exactly what it says on the tin: a custom keyboard with the colors of the popular London soccer club. logo is very similar to Peignot Bold, which is a display sans serif font designed by Adolphe Mouron Cassandre and published by Linotype. To create the kits that deliver peak performance with a lower impact on the environment, plastic bottles are collected, cleaned and melted down to produce a high-quality yarn for manufacturing. The new Chelsea kit the players will wear on pitch as well as replica jerseys for the fans are constructed with 100% recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles. ‘We paid tribute to the work of these skilled tailors with the use of bespoke details and trims to create a really crisp aesthetic which complements Chelsea’s uniquely stylish identity.’ ‘London is the epicentre of men’s tailoring and the kit takes its inspiration from this iconic craft,’ says Nike’s Scott Munson, VP, Nike Football Apparel. White socks, decorated with a Nike Swoosh and a Chelsea lion, complete a sharp head-to-toe look. Both the font and the indigo lettering are reminiscent of the labels sewn inside London-crafted suits. The new kit has dark blue tape running down the sides of the torso and is embossed with the phrase, ‘The Pride of London’.
