British soccer team wears jerseys covered in sausage, potatoes, peas

A British soccer team is making headlines thanks to its unusual — and delicious — uniforms.

Bedale Association Football Club recently revealed its new uniform, which presents a classic British meal from head to toe.

The jersey features sausages and peas on a bed of mashed potatoes flowing down into the shorts. A boat on each sock pours gravy toward the cleats.

On the back — above the "ketchup" numbers — is the slogan "Football's Coming Home For Tea," a play on the popular British song "Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)."

"Obviously eating sausage and chips after every home game must have suited our players because we had a very successful season last year," reserve team manager Al Pattison told INSIDER.

Bedale AFC is selling the $48 jersey — as well as the shorts and socks — to raise funds for the organization Team Garby, which raises money for prostate cancer research. It was founded in honor of Steve Garbett, a friend of the team who died in November 2014 from the illness.

Through various fundraising efforts, Team Garby has raised more than $215,000 (£178,000) towards its $301,248 (£250,000) goal.

Bedalde AFC chairman Martyn Coombs told INSIDER that the campaign has been "a remarkable achievement and something the club is proud of."

"We have partnered with [Historic Football Shirts] to sell the kit on our behalf," Coombs said, adding that $6 from every sale of the uniforms will go directly to prostate cancer research.

The soccer team debuted its first sausage-themed uniform back in 2017, when members sported jerseys covered in hot dogs.

Bedale AFC then revamped its original design in 2018 to feature a single giant hot dog covered in ketchup and mustard.
