Real Madrid players appeared on the pitch with a with a kit that looked rather transparent than normal, exposing the players due the heavy downpour in Madrid.
However, reasons behind the switch are more
than laudable, as the Champions League
holders made a fine gesture in favour of the
environment - although the rain meant
viewers may have got more than they
bargained for.
The entire kit were according reports made of a thin plastic formed from bottles disposed of in the Indian Ocean, and recycled for use by kit
supplier Adidas.
Each shirt uses 28 discarded bottles: and
eagle-eyed observers would have been able
to see the legend 'For the Ocean' stitched
into the collar.
Adidas are working alongside activists Parley
for the Ocean, who aim to raise
consciousness for the world's principal water
bodies that suffer unimaginable levels of
contamination each year from human
neglect.
The German suppliers previously designed a
recycled kit for Bayern Munich, although it
must be said that the Bavarians' black away
colours left a little more to the imagination
than Madrid's all-white shirt!
