Reading FC’s new away kit follows suit of the earlier released home strip, featuring the climate stripes in its design.
The away jersey for the 2022/23 Championship season features the climate stripes, created at the University of Reading, down the full length of the torso, in ‘Rose Quartz’ monochrome.
Created by Professor Ed Hawkins, the climate stripes for Berkshire have again been adopted for the outfield players’ jerseys.
Average annual temperatures over the club’s 151-year history are represented using shades of pink, with lighter shades indicating cooler-than-average years and bolder shades indicating hotter years.
The away kit launch follows the Club’s announcement that its home kit will feature the traditional blue and red version of the climate stripes on its sleeves. The home shirt got fans talking on launch day, and the Club describes its away edition as ‘another conversation starter’.
Both kits by Macron are made from Eco-Fabric – entirely manufactured from recycled plastic bottles.
Fans will get their first glimpse of the new away kit when Reading FC travel to Millwall on Saturday 27 August.
