Bayern Munich And Real Madrid To Wear Kits Made From Ocean Waste

Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will be wearing kits made entirely from recycled ocean waste this weekend as part of a new initiative.

Adidas have partnered with Parley for the Oceans to create the products and raise awareness about protecting and preserving our oceans.

Made from Parley Ocean Plastic and water-based environmentally friendly prints, the all-white Real Madrid and all-red Bayern Munich kits feature the same club crests, adidas three stripes and sponsors' logos in the same colour as the kit for a unique look.

The kit has been designed as a one-off and will see both European giants wearing it in one of their matches this month; Bayern will be sporting the kit in their match with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this weekend, while Real Madrid debut the kit for the first and only time in a league match with Sporting Gijon on 26 November.

Both Marcelo and Xabi Alonso were drafted in to showcase the new kits as part of the ground-breaking partnership.

Fans have both clubs will be able to get their hands of the rare jerseys. The adidas x Parley Bayern Munich jersey is available on adidas.com/parley and in selected stores from Friday 4 November. The adidas x Parley Real Madrid jersey is available on adidas.com/parley and in selected stores from Thursday 24 November.
