Old Spanish football shirts are being given a new lease of life on hospital wards.
Rather than let the unwanted La Liga kit go to waste; one company is upcycling the shirts into hospital gowns to help younger patients recover faster.
Children at the Hospital San Rafael in Madrid have been seen wearing Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid jerseys emblazoned with some of the nation’s most famous players.
The campaign, Las Batas Mas Fuertas – ‘The Strongest Hospital Gowns’ in English – was created by Spanish football magazine Panenka, who teamed up with We Are Xuxa to launch the gowns.
The idea of turning La Liga jerseys into gowns is to replace the usual green hospital robes with something more cheerful.
They hope this can make child patients feel stronger, which could reduce their hospital stay.

A nurse at the hospital also explained why the project is so important for giving the children a quick recovery.
‘The state of mind influences the evolution of a child, impacting how many days of hospitalisation,’ she said.
‘A gown gives you so much joy, can reduce stress and in turn reduces the hospital stay, because it improves your mood and defences at the same time and helps to recover faster.’
Las Batas Mas Fuertas is now looking for other hospitals to join the campaign.
Panenka have said they firstly want to get hospitals and health centres to express interest in the campaign, and will start to collect kits in June.
How did You find love? How did you feel when you texted your partner and he or she never had the time to text back? how did you feel when you partner couldn’t pick up the phone when you called to call you when he or she woke up right from bed? Am sure most of us will say ‘I felt distressed, I was angry at him or her etc.
We all came to find love today in different situations, some from school, work, social events, weddings, funerals and more. To constantly keep in touch with these special ones in our lifes we all have the privileges of using phones, the online mails, post mails or even a meet up to go watch games, or for drinks and foods.
But this isn’t the case of the women and men locked up in Sacramento County jail. The inmates of this correction centre are using a unique way to make new friends, catch up with old friends and above all to find some are talking to one another through the toilets and falling in love.
If you find that special person, make sure to give them all the time you could get and never forget to hold that special moments of been together dearly.
