U.S. National Team head coach Bob Bradley was on hand with USA’s 1950 FIFA World Cup captain Walter Bahr to unveil the new U.S. Men’s National Team Home Kit this morning.  The kit (along with those of Brazil, Portugal and the Netherlands) is the most environmentally-friendly and technologically advanced kit in soccer history.

For the first time, all of Nike’s national teams will be wearing jerseys made entirely from recycled polyester, each one produced from up to eight recycled plastic bottles. To make the 2010 national team kits, Nike’s fabric suppliers sourced discarded plastic bottles from Japanese and Taiwanese landfill sites and then melted them down to produce new yarn that was ultimately converted to fabric for the jerseys. By using recycled polyester for its new range of national jerseys, Nike prevented nearly 13 million plastic bottles, totaling nearly 254,000 kg of polyester waste, from going into landfill sites, nearly enough to cover the entire coastline of South Africa. Team and professional uniforms are also available for customization.
