Introducing Game Threads
The average consumer throws away approximately 81.5 pounds of clothing annually which contributes to an estimated 12 billion kilograms of clothing-related waste being discarded each year in North America. Additionally, it’s reported that 85% of all textiles in the United States end up in landfills. Polyester, a common material in hockey jerseys, can take up to 200 years to decompose in landfills.
How do we keep jerseys out of the landfill? I’m glad you asked! Through Game Threads, Hawks families can request damaged jerseys at no charge to use to create something new and meaningful. Whether it’s adding team emblems to a jacket, making a rink blanket, or even converting a jersey into a tote bag, the possibilities are endless.
