Most Australian uniforms are the same design. Athletics will be the sameThe female Rugby Sevens (Gold Medal, the game ended right now. Congratulations!) wore a jersey in the same style of that basketball one.

This turquoise green is cool but our stuff is naff this season. The white Adidas media polo is cool though, nice and simple, just the gold cuff and the simple green logos. Really cool. The yellow version is garish and ugly though.

How weird is H&M producing the Swedish womens tops? I like their real yellow and blue strips, looks great, but this is alright as well. How long will it be before McDonalds and Sony realise you can sponsor Olympic teams when they moonlight as manufacturers? As always for secondary producers, the away kit is straight out of the latest Nike catalogue...

The German ladies is pretty cool, not very Adidas looking, but that eagle logo is seriously cool. So harsh, so Churman.

The hockey uniform didn't have Australia written below the yoke, for whatever reason.

Noticed this too, I saw one of the swimmers from Sweden wearing a H&M tracksuit at one of the medal ceremonies the other day. Truly strange.

What kind of person would buy something like this?!
I don't mind the Boomers kit, wouldn't mind picking one up if it was on the cheap.

The guys over on the Swimsuits and Graphic Design board probably.

I've seen a few of them in the kids section at Rebel sports.

They are a Swedish company that produces sportswear among other clothing, so it seems like a perfect fit to me (pun intended). I really like the designs and is far better than what they would have got with adidas or nike. A subtle gradient design with some Swedish touches, the stroke running through the 0 on one of the kits seen in the article and the crosses on the sleeves. Would love to see them get into this space more and provide something different to Adidas, Nike and Puma.

The light yellow is novel but the brighter version is pretty cool. The Swedes really monopolised the only colour any Scandinavian national team should wear. Yellow + Aryan tan skin + white hair... so bad it's good?
Seems 2 fake adidas stripes is ok though if the Zimbabwe women's soccer team is any indication.

Probably, these stripes were seen as a design. They're not trademarked, like the stripes of "Dassler Sport" outfits.

On the yellow based basketball uniforms for both the Boomers and Opals, the 3rd green for the numbers and names has possibly given me cancer.
I really like the overall design with the word attached to the yoke and the lighter green highlight on the collar and shorts, but it's pretty clear Adidas have just provided unnamed/numbered kits to the countries and let them go, and the countries have then gotten a blind person to apply the names and numbers.
The green used for the printing is clearly a different shade from either of the existing greens used, but we've at least been consistent in placing the names below the yoke. On the French women's jerseys from the game against the Opals, the names are all over the place, with smaller names being higher and fully inside the yoke and longer names being moved down so they fit, some crossing over to the main body colour.
It's a dog's breakfast and it's punching me right in my sports uniform nerd testes.
I'd consider buying a singlet/jersey in that Adidas Australian team style to run in if they sold them anywhere. What's the point of sponsoring if you don't actually sell the merch?

How bad is that Zimbabwe strip? It looked so thin and generally naff, it was like a Vic Market Brazil knock off or something. Or something you'd see kids in Africa wearing on a Four Corners 'exposé.'

Fiji won their first ever gold medal wearing BLK.. might as well fold as a nation.

Its not the Olympic kits, but the Hockeyroos and the Kookaburras have apparel available at the Hockey Australia store https://hockeyaustraliashop.shopdesq.com/
You could say they're... fading away.
