Nissan and The Woolmark Company Combine Their Innovation Skills for a New FE Team Kit

The Woolmark Company has brought Merino wool to the forefront of the performance-wear industry, revolutionising the sports world. The Woolmark Company's values include reducing environmental impact, so the brand's collaboration with Nissan's FE Team was a natural fit.

The team kit consists of Merino wool t-shirts, jackets, polos, and more.

The Woolmark Company is joining Nissan FE for Season 9 as the official technical partner, assisting Nissan and its racing team in developing a performance-led Merino wool team kit that maximises comfort and endurance. The goal of this collaboration is to not only keep racers in the zone through performance-driven uniforms, but also to highlight Merino wool's environmentally-friendly qualities, in the same way that Nissan's FE races have introduced zero-emission electric vehicles to the mainstream.

Nissan will compete in the ABB FIA FE World Cup Championship for the fifth time this season, ushering in the Gen3 era. A new era means a new standard for motorsport team uniforms. The Merino wool blend kit is made up of three basic layers: a base layer, a mid-layer, and an outer layer made of 50% Merino wool.

"Our partnership with The Woolmark Company will provide Nissan FE Team with a high-performance kit made with natural Merino wool fibre. This demonstrates once again that, as in FE, high performance and sustainability can coexist," says Tommaso Volpe, Managing Director, Nissan FE Team.

For maximum pairing options, the team kit will include t-shirts, polo shirts, trousers, mid-layers, softshell jackets, shorts, and caps. The pieces' technical qualities include efficient moisture management, thermoregulation, and breathability — all of which are ideal for a fast FE team.

Not only is the range defined by its utility, but the Merino wool from which it is made is also 100% natural, recyclable, biodegradable, and renewable. "The innovative nature of Merino wool parallels the technology behind FE thanks to manufacturing techniques and engineering between our teams," The Woolmark Company Managing Director John Roberts explains.

Merino Perform certification applies to the entire collection. The team uniform will be on display throughout Season 9 of the World Championship, which runs from January to July 2023.

""We are thrilled that Shah Rukh Khan, who is presently in the United Arab Emirates for the International League T20, will find time to attend the trailer's screening on one of the greatest architectural achievements in history. Due to the unprecedented level of support that Pathaan is receiving from SRK's fans and audiences alike, we believe that this activity is appropriate given the hype that the movie currently carries."
