Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games has unveiled the uniform that thousands of volunteers and staff members will be wearing at the Games.
The uniform design for technical officials and the formal outfits for delegates have also been revealed.
The uniforms will be worn by more than 14,000 people from across Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond, who make up the “Commonwealth Collective”.
The volunteers will be a visible presence in the city and across the wider region for more than a million spectators who will be visiting the West Midlands during the Games.
Max Jimminson, uniforms operations manager at Birmingham 2022, said: “The uniform reflects Birmingham’s unique history and culture, whilst also ensuring that it is comfortable and functional for all wearers to carry out their roles.
The uniform features patterns from the iconic Library of Birmingham design and waves inspired by the architecture of Birmingham’s Grand Central and Bullring building.
These are included on all upper body garments, such as the polo shirt, gilet and waterproof jacket.
The uniforms have been produced by Coleshill-based workwear company, Incorporatewear Ltd, who has taken steps to ensure the production process is as sustainable as possible.
Any excess material will be made into sports bibs for local schools and clubs, forming part of the Games’ legacy.
