Italian fashion designer Alessandro Ferrrari has come up with a new range of leisure wear that is inspired by the notorious soccer incident that happened during last summer's World Cup when Zinedine Zidane headbutted Marco Materazzi in the chest during the final match between France and Italy.

The new collection of leisure wear includes the motif of a man headbutting another man to items of clothing such as fleeces and t-shirts. The motif is coupled with a multi-colored symbol that reflects the French and Italian national flags, which is to signify unification and understanding between the nations.

Ferrari said, 'The idea came to me on a wave of emotion after Italy won the World Cup. After Zidane's headbutt on Materazzi I thought of turning that unsavory act into a positive social message aimed at the youngsters, and at the same time offering a trendy product of high quality.'
