Forge FC unveiled Thursday the custom-designed Macron alternate playing kit ahead of the 2022 Canadian Premier League season at the Kickoff Party hosted at The Canadian Warplane Museum.
Paying homage to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, ON. Forge FC’s primarily sheet metal grey with orange accents, Alternate jersey is a nod to the museum’s love of aviation and its desire to maintain and preserve Canada’s aviation history. No jersey is complete without a nod to Forge’s beloved community and city of Hamilton. A Cinquefoil, the heraldic flower in the city of Hamilton’s flag is embossed on the front of the jersey with Hamilton proudly heat printed on the back.
The Legacy Patch that will proudly represent the two Canadian Premier League North Star Shields Forge FC won in 2019 and 2020 is featured on the left sleeve.

League Kit Information
This season all Canadian Premier League / Macron kits will be made from Macron Eco Fabrics – made with a thread that is 100% PET recycled polyester and is certified by Global Recycle Standard.
PET is a material made of oil or natural gas and can be 100% recycled, returning to the market in the form of new eco-sustainable products. In particular, the PET gathered after its first use is reduced to 2 mm chips and subsequently treated to obtain a thread that guarantees the same performance of a virgin thread. The thread does not lose its original characteristics during its treatment and for this reason, may be repeatedly recycled. Last but not least, compared to virgin polyester, the PET recycled polyester has the advantage of requiring less energy during the production chain. For each produced shirt, 13 0.5 l bottles are recycled. Read more about Macron 4 The Planet here.
