Sportscraft, Volley and the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) have revealed their new Australian Winter Olympic Team uniforms for Beijing 2022. Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team, Geoff Lipshut, says unveiling these uniforms is a fantastic way to celebrate the one month countdown until the Olympic cauldron is lit in Beijing.

“I’m thrilled to see the formal uniforms revealed to mark today’s one month to go milestone, and I know our winter athletes will treasure the opportunity to wear this uniform,” Lipshut said.

The formal uniforms to be worn at team and Olympic functions both during and after Games, reflect a classic, simple and fresh style.

The feature piece of the uniform is the longline wool blend coat in deep navy that is lined with the names of all 265 Australian Winter Olympians, from the first Winter competitor Kenneth Kennedy in 1936 to Olympic champions like Alisa Camplin, Torah Bright and Steven Bradbury.

“Donning an Olympic uniform is an unforgettable moment for any Australian athlete, and to know you’ve got every Winter Olympian who has come before you, on your back, is a special touch.” Lipshut added.

The rest of the uniform features a tapered chino pant in an emerald hue along with a grey marle crew neck knit for the male athletes or a turtle neck knit for the female athletes. The look is accessorised with the official wool scarf, neck tie and belt.

With challenges of Australian travel and athletes’ extensive qualification and competition schedule making an in-person event in Australia impossible, the mogul skiers reveled in showing off the uniform in their natural winter environment after the December World Cup event in Alpe d’Huez, France.

Jakara Anthony fresh off the slopes from winning double gold in the singles and doubles moguls, said the uniform unveiling makes Beijing 2022 feel even closer.

“Sportscraft and Volley have done an incredible job with the formal wear,” Anthony said. “Putting it on makes you realize everything’s about to become a reality, the honor of being able to represent Australia.

“There’s a lot of pride in putting it on and seeing the emblem of the Australian Olympic Team. It’s a surreal feeling, it makes you so proud and keen to represent the country.

“The kit looks great, I can’t wait to get to wear it at the Games.”
