The 2024 Paris Olympics

The highly anticipated 2024 Paris Olympics has entered the countdown. Recently, the clothing of the Chinese team for the 2024 Paris Olympics has gradually unveiled its mysterious veil. The current Chinese sports delegation will appear on the field wearing a series of ingeniously crafted costumes. These costumes embody the profound cultural heritage of China and the creative fusion of modern sports, adding a unique "Chinese style" to this global sports event.

The award jacket created by ANTA for the Chinese sports delegation continues the design of the "Champion Dragon Dress", innovatively using elements such as "dragon scales" and "dragon whiskers", and combining them with embossed patterns, splicing, embroidery and other techniques. The classic Chinese style pattern and blank main color design complement each other, conveying the traditional Chinese cultural heritage to the world while also showcasing the spirit of Chinese athletes in the new era who strive for progress and vitality.

This award winning suit also contains many green technologies, and the production process uses environmentally friendly fabrics such as recycled nylon and recycled polyester, achieving over 50% carbon reduction. It is a carbon neutral Olympic award winning equipment certified by authoritative institutions in China. After winning medals at the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes will wear this collection of award gowns to the podium, showcasing the image of Chinese athletes.

Since the 2012 London Olympic Games, the "Chinese Loong" has become an indispensable element of the Chinese sports delegation's award-winning clothing. From London to Sochi, and from Beijing to Paris, the "Chinese Loong" has witnessed the glorious moments of countless Chinese athletes and the global spread and influence of Chinese culture in the past 12 years. This time at the Paris Olympics, the "Champion Dragon suit" is once again on the field. It not only carries the glory and dreams of Chinese athletes, but also conveys the confidence and strength of Chinese culture to the world.

Like the award gown, the dress design also emphasizes the red and white color scheme. In the design of the "Chasing Dreams" dress, King Jiumu has incorporated rich traditional Chinese cultural elements. Both men's and women's dress jackets use I-shaped patterns extracted from Great Wall bricks and tiles, with horizontal and vertical patterns, conveying the meaning of honesty and rigor.

The women's formal dress combines the unique Chinese style cheongsam with Song Dynasty clothing, and incorporates bamboo, one of the representative elements of traditional Chinese culture, as the main pattern, symbolizing harmony, unity, perseverance, and continuous rise.

The men's dress shirt features a small stand up collar with a buckle design that exudes Chinese charm; In terms of pants, it leverages the professional advantages accumulated by men's pants experts for 35 years, using the same fabric as the "Little Black Pants" that has sold over 3 million pieces in the Jiumuwang Five Pants matrix. It is soft, comfortable, and not tight during running and jumping, allowing Chinese athletes to leave a fresh and bright image on the venue, showcasing China's national sports spirit of striving for excellence and continuous breakthroughs to the world.

The "Chasing Dreams" dress this time selected the homophone of the word "bamboo", fully demonstrating the spirit of Chinese people daring to strive and pursue their dreams, and also symbolizing that the Chinese sports delegation will stand proudly like green bamboo, with bamboo in their chest, and bring glory to the country.

On the field, the competition costumes of the Chinese sports delegation were also full of highlights. The sportswear for different events is sponsored by well-known clothing brands in their respective fields, each containing technology and innovation. For example, the skateboarding event is sponsored by Fila Fusion brand, the golf event is sponsored by Biyinlefen brand, the table tennis event is sponsored by Li Ning brand, and gymnastics and lifting events are sponsored by ANTA brand.

Li Ning has carefully crafted a new "dragon suit" for the Chinese table tennis team to compete in the Paris Olympics. This' dragon suit 'features the element of' CHINA dragon 'as its main design, while also conforming to the theme concept of' one yuan starting again '. The front and main body of the clothes use traditional Chinese tie dye patterns as the background, which have both Chinese characteristics and modern artistic expression. The shoulders are designed with geometric patterns of golden glitter, which not only creates a sense of movement speed, but also decorates the shoulder lines to be more upright and powerful. In terms of collar design, the Chinese style collar selection further highlights the unique Chinese beauty, allowing the world to see the charm of the Chinese table tennis team and Chinese culture.

The Five Star Battle Robe III released by Biyinlefen continues the brand's design concept of being rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese culture and promoting the energy of Chinese culture. Inspired by the national flag, the architecture of the Forbidden City, and traditional Chinese colors, the ceramic white, Chinese red, and gentian purple colors blended together with classic elements such as pentagrams and hexagons are used for decoration, accurately presenting the elegant connotation and vigorous momentum of Chinese culture. The overall expression is atmospheric, fashionable, and full of simple and blank imagination and rhythm.

The clothing uses red, yellow, and blue as the main colors, with the red and yellow colors taken from the national flag and perfectly integrated with the brand's iconic blue. The three colors appear vividly on the white T-shirt, like the streamlined ink shadows outlined by traditional Chinese ink paintings, and also like the gliding trajectory left by a skateboard speeding by. The pattern continues the brand's classic Workwear series street workwear style, with a loose cut design that is both comfortable and in line with street aesthetics. The work pants are made of durable and tear resistant fabric, providing solid protection for skateboarders and facilitating flexible display of various difficult movements.
