Real Betis consider themselves to be a green club in more ways than one, and their latest initiative certainly backs this up. On Wednesday, they announced the release of a new kit, which has been called “Forever Green”.

Betis are using the kit to highlight the dangerous effects of climate change, especially in regards to droughts. They are encouraging their supporters to “use water responsibility”, as they aim to raise awareness to the problem.

“The kit aims to raise awareness about responsible use of water, reflecting the impact that climate change is causing in our fields, punished by the worst drought that can be remembered.”

Real Betis defender Hector Bellerin, who has spoken out on the effects of climate change in the past, was used to model the kit. At this stage, it’s not known whether it will be used in one of Los Verdiblancos’ remaining four matches in the current season.
