This is your chance to get a piece of Atlanta United history, and help save our planet at the same time.
In partnership with Parley, Atlanta United wore eco-friendly kits made out of upcycled plastic for their match against the LA Galaxy on April 21st for one time only. The kits on the field have all been signed, and are now up for action –– 14 in all –– with all the proceeds going to the Georgia Aquarium's research and conversation efforts around the world.
Each kit is crafted using Parley Ocean Plastic™ upcycled from plastic waste intercepted on beaches and in coastal communities. Once collected, the original plastic source is reworked into technical fibers that can then be repurposed for use in either apparel or footwear. To commemorate this unique process of repurposing plastic debris, the message “For the Oceans” is featured in the inside of the neck tape detailing, and each club’s name is featured on the back-neck.
Auction winners get a full match-worn kit –– autographed jersey, short, socks and two tickets to the Georgia Aquarium good for up to 1 year. The auction opens on Thursday, May 10 at 10AM ET and closes at 11:59pm ET on Sunday, May 13, 2018.
