Some of the designs on the clothing for Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes were inspired by legendary Canadian painter Emily Carr. Stylized beavers, loons and polar bears appear on some items. The uniforms were modelled by athletes at a news conference Wednesday.
The colour scheme is Maple Leaf Red, a reference to the Canadian flag, Winter Night Black and Northern White.
Most of the athletes’ clothing is made in Canada to avoid controversy that occurred in previous years. Replicas for sale to the public will be made elsewhere.
