Someone’s trash, specifically up to 8 discarded plastic water bottles, is now your new Nike football jersey, made of environmentally sound recycled polyester. Thanks to R&D, what’s good for the planet is also very good for your game, as neither performance nor style were sacrificed in the bargain.

On the subject of design, it’s safe to say Manchester United fans the world over will definitely don the red jersey with pride as the Red Devil icon sits exactly on the heart, which is where the club rests in every die hard supporter.

The word “Believe” inside the crest adds a nice touch. UrbanWire remembers when Man Utd fans held aloft pieces of paper in unison to form the word “Believe” in the match against Barcelona, only to be rewarded with The Red Devils progressing to the UEFA Champions league final on a 1-0 win.

The away kit of the 18-time Barclay’s Premier League Winner is white, as it’s the preferred choice of Sir Alex Ferguson seeing it returns to the club’s traditional away colours. We agree with the Scot’s fashion sense as white represents purity as the club from Lancashire doesn’t seem to have strayed from their humble beginnings.

“We’re continually evolving our kit design for the world’s elite clubs and the new Manchester United unveil is a proud moment for Nike,” said Phil Dickinson, Nike Global Football Creative Director during the kit launch.  “The Club’s deep tradition perfectly complements our innovative design and manufacturing process,” he added.

On a similar note, Arsenal FC also chose to take a trip down to memory lane and incorporated their prestigious history by using traditional graphics in its design.

The away kit will definitely be a hit among fans as it revisits Arsenal’s memories of clinching the league title at Anfield in 1989, a day Liverpool fans want to forget as The Gunners snatched the trophy from the Scousers by goal difference on the final day.

Nike thoughtfully added a feature that will embrace the supporters of Arsenal- ‘Victoria Concordia Crescit’, Arsenal’s Latin motto that translates as Victory Through Harmony. The phrase was stitched at the back of the club’s crest. With new acquisitions in the squad, such as the highly rated Marouane Chamakh, Arsenal will definitely be a force to reckon with in the upcoming season.

We shift our focus not so far away, to the land of the World Champions, Spain.

Barcelona, a club not short of trophies, returns to their origins through the use of cultural symbols, retaining the famous red and blue stripes.

The yellow of the Catalonian flag, the Senyera, clearly proclaims independence and pride. Established players such as Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta have won every trophy that the team has competed for. Morale in the Blaugrana camp is naturally high after they retained the domestic trophy for the second consecutive season.

The new team kits will be retailing at $99 in Nike Wisma, Nike Vivocity and Weston Queensway.
