Here are the team kits that the Philippines’ best will be rocking as they try to make another round of Olympics history in Paris!
For every Olympic year, kit reveals will always be part of the huge build-up. After all, these threads are one of many material remembrances of a country’s Olympic campaign, and putting on an Olympic team kit means that you are a part of history. But even more than that, it’s a clear expression of national pride on a global stage, especially given the designs used.
The Philippines is no stranger to all this hype. For the country’s centennial year on the Olympic stage, adidas will be one of the country’s official outfitters!
“No one said that carrying the weight of a nation was going to be easy, but Team Philippines is here to play. [Team Philippines] will be suited up by adidas Philippines for #Paris2024. Witness their burning passion light the way to biggest stage in the world,” the sportswear giant wrote on their social media posts.
Check out our Paris Olympics team kits!
Like other adidas-outfitted countries, a minimalist approach was used on the Philippines’ Olympic team kits, built on our national colors of red, white, and yellow. However, from the looks of it, adidas will be opting for a pale gold-like tone in place of the Philippine yellow.
Could this symbolize the athletes going for gold? We sure hope so.
In addition, we also noticed that the “PHILIPPINES” text on these Olympics team kits will come in that gold-like tone. A subtle detail yes, but another great touch to flex some national pride.
Besides the official unveiling, we can expect our Filipino Olympians to rock these kits as early as their one-month training camp in Metz, France which starts later this month. Come the Olympics, these will likely keep our athletes warm as they stroll through the Olympic Village, or when they head to battle in their respective playing fields.
And who knows? These team kits might also be on the Olympic podium as this delegation builds on a historic Tokyo 2020 campaign heading into Paris.
