The 2014 Australian Commonwealth Games team uniforms have been unveiled today to mixed reactions.
The green and gold range was designed and manufactured by Bendigo-based Australian Defence Apparel and includes knitted jumpers, scarves and jackets adorned with the team crest.
Netballer Bianca Chatfield reportedly told the ABC that the team kit has earned her stamp of approval.
“I can imagine all the netball girls absolutely loving the fact that we can pick and chose different pieces to put together,” she said.
With the focus on keeping our athletes warm, the uniforms are made from woolly wind resistant fabrics for the games which will kick off in chilly Glasgow in mid-July.
However, not everyone is a fan of the Aussie team’s get-up.
Elle deputy editor, Damien Woolnough told the Sydney Morning Herald he was not a fan.
“This is why Olympians used to perform naked,” he said. “Were these uniforms designed by a graduate of the Whitehouse Institute on a scholarship?”
The Glasgow Commonwealth Games start on July 23.
