Forest Green Rovers' all vegan kit splits opinions
Briefly

Forest Green Rovers revealed new vegan football kits featuring a fluorescent leopard-style print for the 2025/26 season. The design aims to reduce waste and lower costs for fans, with the home shirt worn for two seasons. The kit is crafted from recycled mono-fibre materials and plant-based dyes, inspired by a barking tree frog. Forest Green Rovers, in collaboration with Reflo and the Vegan Society, claims to produce the world's first fully certified vegan kit. While some fans celebrate the innovation, others criticize the design as being too unconventional.
The design has split fans' opinions with some branding it as "horrendous" and "out there". The new home shirt will be worn for two seasons as part of the club's commitment to reduce waste.
The kit's pattern is inspired by a barking tree frog and is made from recycled mono-fibre materials which used plant-based dyes. Club chairman Dale Vince said, "This season our new strip pushes the boundary again."
