MDL Select Doesn't work nicely with HTML tags / Material Icons

So, my issue is the following: I'm trying to make the select work with HTML / Material Icons like so:

<li class="mdl-menu__item" data-val="red-500" tabindex="-1">
    <i class="material-icons mdl-color-text--red-500">fiber_manual_record</i>Red
</li>

Any ideas how I can get this to work? 😉
