UEFA Forces Ajax & Adidas to Change Bob Marley ‘Three Little Birds’ Kit

Ajax FC Dutch professional football club Ajax FC was forced to make changes to their kit paying homage to reggae legend Bob Marley.

Simply put, the more nutritious cows' diets are, the more and better quality milk they produce. And small-scale farmers - of which there are about 33 million in Africa, contributing up to 70% of the continent's food supply - usually cannot afford ...
