Bright red and orange colors, Poland's coat of arms, seamless technology and the best fabrics available – the clothes for the Rio Olympics have been designed by Ranita Sobańska of the 4F sports performance company, which had already designed the clothes for both able-bodied and disabled Polish athletes at the Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi 2014 as well as the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
"The Polish collection is in bright colours,” Igor Klaja, the company's ECO told reporter Danuta Isler. “Everybody knows how much energy there is in Brasil that's why we made the collection in neon colours," he added.
The project for designing the Polish team's clothes took over two years. The distinctive logo of the Polish brand will also appear on the apparel of the Latvian and Serbian athletes at the Olympic Games in Rio following the agreements the company signed with the Olympic Committees of the two countries earlier this year.
