Earlier this week, Reading FC announced the unveiling of their new home kit via Twitter- but the new shirts- not dissimilar in appearance to designs by the likes of Paul Smith, are more than just for show.
The sleeves of the home shirt provide a visual representation of just how much climate change is affecting the world’s temperatures, with each blue bar representing years where temperatures were lower than estimated; and each red bar representing years in which temperatures were far greater than predicted.

The gradient of colour which shows the extent to which temperatures have drastically risen over recent years uses dynamic design to bring attention to the issue of our planet’s changing climate. As the tweet reads:
