Vermont Green’s Eco Jersey Revolution | Montpelier News

The Vermont Green soccer team is leading a green revolution on the pitch, reusing their 2025 home jerseys as 2026 away kits to slash waste and combat the massive environmental footprint of sports—like the World Cup’s projected nine million tons of CO2. With most jerseys made from fossil-fuel-derived polyester, each shirt emits nearly five and a half kg of carbon, and millions end up in landfills every second. But the Vermont Green, co-founded by Patrick Infurna, is pushing pro sports toward sustainability, partnering with eco-conscious brands like Player Layer and wearing training tops designed by Matthew Wolff that use 23 recycled water bottles and support “1% for the Planet.” Their bold move proves that eco-awareness can be both stylish and game-changing—even if recycling polyester remains a complex challenge.
