Stella McCartney designs leopard-print football kit for Arsenal
British designer Stella McCartney has collaborated with sportswear brand Adidas to create a leopard-print football kit for English club Arsenal's women's team.
Set to debut at tomorrow's women's team match, the pre-match shirt will be worn by players before games at home for the rest of the 2021/22 FA Women's Super League season. The men's team will wear the shirt once ahead of their Premier League match at Crystal Palace on 4 April.
Stella McCartney and Adidas have created a leopard print football kit
The pre-match shirts form part of a 10-piece clothing collection for Arsenal that includes hoodies and leggings for women in an eye-catching animal print.
It is the first time since McCartney began working with Adidas in 2005 that she has designed a kit for a women's football team.
It is designed to celebrate female players
"As the most decorated English women's football club, Arsenal Women is made up of incredible athletes, so to be able to celebrate them – especially in a year that is so pivotal for women in sport – is incredibly special," said McCartney.
"We're so excited to continue our journey into the world of football by creating our first travel wear collection for a team."
The shirt was designed to be unisex
Across the collection, the distinctive "mystery blue" and "scarlet red" colours of the Arsenal club can be seen in a large leopard print pattern – a pattern historically associated with female prowess and a staple pattern in McCartney's oeuvre.
McCartney, who also created the outfits for the GB team at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, hopes that the colours and print tie the fashion and football industries together.
It is adorned with the Adidas logo and the club's crest
"I love that we have fused statement leopard print – an iconic Adidas by Stella McCartney graphic – with distinctive colours to truly bring the two worlds of fashion and football together in an authentic way," added McCarney.
"We hope this collection inspires both current and the future generations of athletes as they make their mark on and off the pitch," she said.

The shirts were made from a mix of organic cotton and recycled materials.
The club's crest was embroidered on the left-hand side of the chest above the "Emirates fly better" logo, with the Adidas and Stella McCartney logo on the right-hand side of the shirt.
McCartney used colours traditionally associated with Arsenal
Alongside the sports apparel, McCartney has redesigned Adidas' female football boot, the Ultraboost 22 in an exclusive colourway.
The kits continue McCartney's move into the world of football, following the release of its Predator Freak vegan football boot last year.
She hopes the eye-catching print will unite fashion and football
The range will be available in a limited quantity from 28 March 2022.
Previous collaborations between Adidas and McCartney include a tennis dress made with a lab-grown vegan spidery silk that can "fully biodegrade" and an updated version of the Ultra Boost trainer that features an upper made with sea-bound [Parley Ocean Plastic](https://www.parley.tv/#fortheoceans).

Adidas and Parley for the Oceans launch floating tennis court in Great Barrier Reef
Sports goods company Adidas and environmental organisation Parley for the Oceans have collaborated to create a recycled-plastic tennis court that floats within Australia's Great Barrier Reef marine park.
Launched to coincide with the Australian Open tennis tournament that is currently taking place in Melbourne, the floating court was created to promote Adidas' latest range of apparel, which incorporates recycled plastic.

The colourful range of clothing is the latest collaboration between the brand and [Parley for the Oceans](https://www.parley.tv/#fortheoceans).
It was debuted on the floating tennis court, which was placed in the Great Barrier Reef – the world's largest coral reef system – to draw attention to the wider issue of plastic waste.
It is located in the Great Barrier Reef
"The new adidas tennis apparel collection, that will be worn by players during the Australian Open in Melbourne, has been inspired by the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and consists of products from one of our sustainability innovators, Made with Parley Ocean Plastic," said an Adidas spokesperson.
"We have chosen to launch this collection in the heritage-protected Queensland marine park to raise awareness and positive discussion around how we can help end plastic waste and protect the Great Barrier Reef."
The court was created to draw attention to plastic pollution
Adidas worked with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority to assemble the floating tennis court on one of the marine authority's barges.
The court's surface was made from recycled plastic provided by Parley for the Oceans, which also provides the recycled plastic used in Adidas' latest tennis collection.

To mark the launch, Australian sportstars simmer Ian Thorpe, canoeist Jess Fox and rugby league player Nathan Cleary, along with model Steph Claire Smith, played a game of mixed doubles on the court. Adidas stated that all balls were retrieved from the water.
Following the Australian Open, the surface of the tennis court will be recycled into a sports court that is set to be built at a school in the nearby city of Townsville.

"To achieve these goals, we foster open-source partnerships and put a high value on collaboration over competition to create sustainable solutions that go beyond our own business and influence."
The collection was made with recycled plastic from Parley for the Oceans

They have also combined to make recycled plastic football shirts for Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as hiking boots.
