OUR STORY
One man's trash, is another man's treasure.
Founded out of Australia in 2018, Unwanted FC is inspired by giving unwanted football jerseys a second life. For years now, we've been leading the charge in merging the gaps between football, fashion, and sustainability.
Driven by our deep appreciation for the nostalgia of vintage football kits, we’ve mastered the art of upcycling - transforming these once beloved garments at the end of their lifecycle into new functional designs such as tote bags, side bags, boot bags and more.
The opportunities for football garments to live on are endless.
The journey so far
Our vision for the future
We promote collections of our own, and offer our custom upcycling service to football fans, brands, clubs & organisations worldwide. But our ambitions extend beyond the product.
Our long term vision is to have our ideas implemented on a much larger scale through collaborating with like-minded partners. Shaping a future where:
- Consumers are more conscious about sustainability,
- Industry norms are challenged and redefined,
- And less waste finds its way into landfills.
As a global community, we're able to advocate and form a circular pattern where waste becomes a thing of the past.
From the two brothers and founding partners, we welcome you to Unwanted FC.
