It is that time of year again in Major League Soccer. After nearly three months of play, there is a sense of familiarity, a reasonable expectation of what all 28 teams are capable of. It's a good time to introduce brand-new jerseys. All 14 matches will feature teams wearing the Primeblue jersey, made from recycled plastic recovered from the oceans. MLS has promoted the cause of plastic pollution in our oceans every year since the league was shut down in the infancy of the coronaviruses epidemic. Our Adidas Primeblue Jerseys, made with 50% Parley Ocean plastic, are just one small step towards cleaning up our oceans and creating a more sustainable future. #GreenerGoals Help us help the planet.

Inter Miami is one of the few teams in the league that is connected to the ocean. Less than three weeks after four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel reminded the world of the risks posed by rising sea levels -- especially in coastal cities like Miami -- David Beckham's club has dived in head first to champion.
Coral Tomascik, a competitive swimmer and model, was asked by Inter to go to Stingray City in the Cayman Islands and put on this year's jersey for a photo shoot. The club wanted to highlight the beauty of the ocean when it was clear of plastic, and the clear blue waters of the Caymans did just that.
