The colourful kit was provided to players of popular soccer video game FIFA 17until Nov. 28, as part of the game's online "Ultimate Team" component.

It was created in tandem with the English Premier League's promotion of the Rainbow Laces campaign by UK charity Stonewall, which encourages LGBTQ inclusivity in sport.

But it hasn't been received well by some Russian politicians, who want action against the game for violating the country's law against gay propaganda, according to The Guardian.

Since 2013, it has been illegal to promote "non-traditional family values" in the country.
