#GreenerGoals

In celebration of Earth Day on Sunday, April 22, 2018, MLS is commemorating the day with a number of initiatives. You will see the highest-profile one on the pitch this weekend. Players from both teams will be wearing special adidas kits, created entirely of technical yarns made using Parley Ocean Plastic.
