The Paris 2024 Olympics are less than four months away with a number of countries releasing their official kits for the summer Games.
Following a backlash over the sale of ‘union jack’ merchandise in different colour shades, Team GB will show the world their official Olympic kit later this month, with the British Olympic Association vowing to stick with tradition.
When will Team GB unveil their Paris 2024 kit?
Team GB’s Olympic kit will officially be unveiled by athletes for the first time later this month on April 17. This will coincide with the 100 days to go milestone for the Games in Paris.
What is Team GB’s opening ceremony kit going to be?
Team GB’s opening ceremony kit is expected to be unveiled at the same time as the competition kit.
Who is designing the kit?
As with Tokyo 2020, Adidas are the partners for the official Team GB kit. The designs are understood to have been completed some two years ago.
Stella McCartney was brought in to design the Team GB London 2012 kit, and did so again for Rio 2016, before an Adidas in-house team took over for Tokyo.
What colours will be on the kit?
It is understood the Team GB Olympic kit for Paris will take on the traditional red, white and blue colours alongside the usual flag.
The new ‘union jack’ merchandise in different colour shades, perceived to cross over into purples and pinks, and coming from the BOA’s collaboration with the Bath-based design company Thisaway, has not inspired the Team GB kit itself. The latter will be much closer to a classic Team GB design, although it is expected to include different shades of blue or red as in previous years.
