Reflo signs four-year kit partnership with Forest Green Rovers
A four-year deal for the fifth-level National League side, beginning with the 2025/26 season, will 'redefine sustainability' with the launch of the world's first fibre-to-fibre mechanically recyclable football shirt', it noted.
Reflo, which has England captain Harry Kane as its lead investor and ambassador, will manufacture Forest Green Rovers' playing kits and technical wear for the upcoming season, 'further reinforcing the club's commitment to sustainability and innovation'. The new agreement will also see Reflo supply the club with training and travel wear.
Adding 'another level of ambition' to the team's sustainability mission, all the apparel is created in recycled materials and specifically designed for full recyclability through the brand's Reloop technology.
'These kits will set a new benchmark for responsible performance wear, ensuring that players and fans alike can wear their team's colours with pride and purpose. Notably, this will be the world's first fibre-to-fibre mechanically recyclable football shirt, marking a revolutionary step in sustainable sportswear', Reflo said.
The collaboration builds on Forest Green Rovers' own long-standing mission to integrate environmental responsibility into every aspect of the club, doing things 'Another Way'. This includes printing vegan match day menus to maintaining renewable energy and transport initiatives.
Rory MacFadyen, co-founder of Reflo, said: "Since day one [our] mission has been to change the sportswear industry, for good. With 92 million tonnes of fabric waste ending up in landfill each year, we knew we had to find a better way. That's why we developed Reloop.
'Partnering with Forest Green Rovers… we are making history with the world's first fibre-to-fibre mechanically recyclable football shirt… designed to be recycled again, setting a new standard for responsible performancewear.'

French Expression of the Day: Le Fisc
Why do I need to know le Fisc ? Because you might have heard it mentioned in slightly ominous tones. What does it mean? Le Fisc – pronounced luh fisk - is a term used to reference the French institution in charge of levying taxes. It's a shorter, more casual version of the phrase l'administration fiscale (the fiscal administration). Often, it refers specifically to the Direction générale des Finances publiques which is the French public finances administration. Though it may look like a shortened version of the feminine noun ' fiscalité ' (which refers to the set of laws related to the tax collection system in France), le Fisc is a masculine noun with a different definition that refers specifically to the government body doing the tax collecting. Advertisement The closest English synonyms to this expression might be 'the taxman' or 'tax authorities.' The term le Fisc comes from the Latin word 'Fiscus' which means 'basket' and by extension went on to be used interchangeably for 'treasure' as well. In ancient Rome, the name for the public treasury was 'fiscus,' which is the root of the French terms le Fisc and fiscalité . Often, you'll see this word used in newspapers or by politicians when referencing matters related to the national budget and taxation. Use it like this Le Fisc va récupérer €10 millions de plus cette année dans les piscines non déclarées. – The taxman will recover more than €10 million in taxes this year due to undeclared swimming pools. Le Fisc a pris connaissance du fait que l'acteur omettait de déclarer une partie importante de ses revenus en France. Il sera probablement condamné à une amende. – The tax authorities have become aware of how the actor was failing to declare significant portions of his income in France. He will likely be fined. Il va être contrôlé par le fisc. Quelle horreur ! - He's going to be audited by the tax man. The horror!
