Liverpool's new Nike away kit for 2020-21 season has THIS impressive, mind-blowing fact

Only last week, Premier League champions Liverpool revealed their new Nike away kit for the upcoming 2020-21 campaign. The Liverpool away jersey is predominantly teal ('hyper turquoise') with black logos and a black crew-neck collar, based on the current Nike template. However, it was also revealed that Liverpool's new Nike football kit is the brand's most planet-friendly jersey created ever as the shirts were cut from a larger piece of fabric to stop excess wastage.

The Liverpool Nike away kit was released as part of the brand's 'Move To Zero' initiative and the kit is reportedly made entirely out of recycled bottles. This also means that each and every Liverpool away kit has a unique design. The sports manufacturing brand reportedly recycles one billion plastic bottles into new products each year. Previously, the Nike kits were manufactured from new, machine crafted, polyester mesh. The 'Move to Zero' initiative by Nike has a singular aim, which is to help protect the future of sports. 

Seana Hannah, vice president of Nike Sustainable Innovation, recently spoke to GQ and explained that the brand is now focusing on more sustainable materials. He said, "Football is the world's biggest sport in the world and we want to make sure that the production of these kits is more sustainable. It's also helpful for the planet and protecting the future of sport against climate change. The kits are a combination of 100 percent recycled polyester material and precision knitting which also allows athletes to perform better than before.". Hannah then added that the Liverpool away kit is more stretched and the moisture-wicking properties are more effective.
