Manchester United have partnered with Cheshire-based sock company Stand Out Socks to produce a celebratory design to promote World Down Syndrome Day.
Tuesday, March 21, marks the occasion, with United selling the limited edition socks in their Megastore for the past 10 days. Proceeds are being handed to the charity Positive About Down Syndrome, which offers informational help to families and maternity units about the condition through its book, #NobodyToldMe.
Down Syndrome is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21. The Stand Out Socks design includes 20 pairs of Manchester worker bees with an extra golden pair being the 21st.
