Sporting Wear Special Kit to Help Fight Amazon Forest Fires
- Special Kit: Sporting's football team wore a special kit in their match against Rio Ave to raise awareness for the Amazon rainforest fires.
- Kit Design: The kit featured a black stripe with the hashtag "#TodosPelaAmazonia" instead of the traditional green to represent the forest fires.
- Fundraising: The match-worn shirts will be auctioned to raise money for the Amazon Forest Fund.
Sporting's kit in today's Primeira Liga game against Rio Ave features a special detail dedicated to help fight against the forest fires that are devestating the Amazon rain forest in South America.
Based on the traditional look of green and white hoops, one of the green stripes is colored in black and bears the hashtag "#TodosPelaAmazonia" (Together for the Amazon).
It does not end here as the shirts will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to the Amazon Forest Fund.
O verde da Amazónia, o pulmão do nosso planeta, está sob ameaça, cada vez mais cinzento…
