While all clubs are presenting their new jerseys like Haute Couture on the Milan catwalk, Belgian champion Royal Union Saint-Gilloise is relying on tried and tested. The former club of Victor Boniface is not presenting a new shirt for the 2025/2026 season. It's being recycled!
Instead of daring fashion experiments, Saint-Gilloise is opting for sustainability and trusting that its own players won't gain too much weight during the summer break. After all, last season's jersey still has to fit next year!

The club say this is to 'minimise waste production and ecological footprint' 🌎 pic.twitter.com/RDmWDnc7ls
Fans are reacting divided: some are celebrating the green approach, while others are sad because they no longer have an excuse to buy a new jersey. The sentence "But darling, it's for the collection" no longer applies in the case of a Saint-Gilloise fan.
The Belgians will thus be playing not only against opponents but also against climate change in the future. They want to "minimize waste production and ecological footprint," the Brussels team explained.
But seriously: this is a really successful campaign!
