Unwanted FC
Unwanted FC exists to give pre-loved sporting garments a second life. Since late 2018, the Australian founded brand has been doing this through their obsession with reworking & upcycling. Patterns all serve a functional purpose and can be spotted in the hands of global stars such as the Matildas and the Socceroos.
Creative Mending Workshop, Upcycled Charm Bar, and Football zone
At the Unwanted FC station, attendees will step into a world where upcycling and rework are the obsession. A dedicated football zone will feature fun games and activities, giving attendees the chance to win prizes.
Alongside this, an Upcycled Charm Bar where you can create your own charm from unwanted jersey textiles. The Unwanted FC team has pre-prepared charms from jersey off-cuts: baby jerseys, mini cushions and jersey tassels. Pick your favourite colours, pair them with your choice of hardware, and you're done. No sewing needed, and it's easy to self-guide. If you want a hand, our team is right there to help. Drop in and turn unwanted textiles into something desirable.
Unwanted FC will also offer 10 personal creative mending workshops over the day (bookings required). Got an old garment that needs some love? A hole, a rip, a tear, or just something you don't wear enough any more? We've got a fix! Unwanted FC has been upcycling jersey textiles since 2018. At the Sustainable Future Festival, we're bringing our off-cuts, pre-prepared as sleeve trims, pockets, patches and collars, so you can add a touch of your favourite team to your pre-loved piece. Co-design your new look with one of our upcycling specialists! Spots are limited, so book now to secure your free session:
To round out the experience, Unwanted FC will showcase a collection of its popular reworked pieces, giving attendees a glimpse into the possibilities of giving unwanted garments a new life.
Beyond its own collections, Unwanted FC also offers an upcycling service for anyone looking to transform their own old jerseys. Attendees can bring along an old kit and speak with a member of the Unwanted FC team on site to find out how it could be given a second life - designs and more information can be found here: Unwanted FC
