NEW DELHI: AIFF's kit partner Nike on Thursday launched Under-17 national football team kit, a month ahead of the kick-off the prestigious FIFA event.
"The new national team kit for India boasts of Nike’s proprietary Dri-FIT technology that helps draw sweat away from the body to the exterior of the kits. In a new shade of blue, the kit features an orange stripe that runs the length of the kit and these expand when the players are in motion. These innovations help maximize ventilation and allow the players to perform at their best by remaining cooler, drier, and more comfortable, an official release states.
All India Football Federation general secretary Kushal Das said, "We are extremely happy that both the senior and the U-17 team will be wearing kits that include some of Nike's most pinnacle innovations in football."
"Nike leverages sustainable innovation for its football kits through the use of recycled polyester to lower environmental impact. The kit's shirt and shorts are constructed with recycled polyester fabric, which is made from recycled plastic bottles melted down to produce a fine yarn," the release further states.
