Adidas The Oceans and Parley For created special-edition uniforms for the University of Miami’s Hurricanes football team, coach and personnel, made from repurposed and upcycled materials. Econyl yarn made from nylon waste from marine environments and Parley Ocean Plastic collected from coastal environments constituted over 70% of the fabric. The team’s cleats and gloves also featured recycled materials, with the team claiming to be the first in the NCAA to don eco-conscious footwear. After the season opener, the uniforms were to be auctioned to raise research funds for the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
