China'S Previous Olympic Games Apparel Market: Unforgettable Chinese Red

Olympic dress is a dress worn by athletes of various sports groups in non competitive formal occasions, such as the costumes for athletes who attend the opening and closing ceremonies and news conferences.

As an important symbol of the Olympic team spirit and national sports culture and fashion elements, the Olympic Games

The competition has also been a highlight of all previous Olympic Games.

In those years, what changes did we see in the Olympic dress of the Chinese team?

"Chinese symbol" for Olympic dress

Since new China's first participation in the Olympic Games in 1984, the main colors of the summer Olympic Games' dress are inseparable from the Chinese elements of red and yellow.

Last year's Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation's red and yellow matching dress was also dubbed "tomato scrambled eggs" by many netizens.

Why China's Olympic dress should be highlighted is not just a symbolic issue.

The Chinese have always liked red, and used it to express joy and vitality. This has also become the "Chinese symbol" in the international perspective. Yellow is also one of the most important and classic colors in Chinese tradition, symbolizing elegance and elegance, expressing the yearning for a better life, and having a subtle meaning of "learning, innovation and thirst for knowledge", which symbolizes the wisdom and 5000 years of civilization of the Chinese people.

Too formal white or gray suit can not reflect this unique feature of China, while athletes wearing red dress looks very spiritual.

Athletes also have their own ideas about the dress.

Yang Wei, Gymnast champion who had participated in the two Olympic Games, said: "the etiquette equipment of the Chinese sports delegation must have national characteristics first, but at the same time, it should have a modern sense.

Personally, I prefer red, collar is the kind of collar, the overall design is relatively simple clothing, including foreigners recognized the important elements of China, design can be taken into account.

The generation change of "Chinese elements"

The 1984 Losangeles Olympic Games is the first time that China has really entered the Olympic family. The outside world is full of fresh feelings for China. They want to see how Chinese athletes who have been missing the Olympic Games for many years will appear at the opening ceremony.

At that Olympic Games, the Chinese Olympic delegation wore a relatively conservative dress, such as a dark blue suit, white trousers or skirt.

Although a little plain, but also dignified and generous.

Since the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, the Chinese delegation's Olympic dress has begun to symbolism.

The red flag represents the eternal theme, whether it is the red tie or bow tie of the athletes at the Seoul Olympic Games, or the bright red jacket of Barcelona women athletes.

Although in 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation put on the main tone for the lake blue dress, looked fresh and capable.

But this dress was questioned by many people, including athletes. In the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Yao Ming led the Chinese athletes into the stadium, wearing the scarlet suit and holding the bright five-star red flag, and the Red China came back.

In the six Olympic Games we participated in, both style and color match, the Olympic dress has been more stable.

But in fact, with the passage of time, many changes have taken place in the Olympic dress. From these changes, we can see some shadow of the development of Chinese clothing.

Due to lack of experience, the Chinese sports delegation's formal dress is temporarily rented at the Losangeles Olympic Games. It can only guarantee one person and a suit.

Dark blue is the color of the most popular formal clothing in China at that time. It is not surprising that Chinese athletes wear dark blue clothes at the Olympics.

At the Seoul Olympic Games, the Olympic dress of the Chinese delegation was all white, the women's athletes' knee skirts and the bow tied on their shirts were all popular styles of women's clothing at that time.

Since the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation has made its own special Olympic dress, which has made great progress in both fabric and technology. The improvement of western style tailoring, the improvement of skirt and waist and other small details make athletes more energetic and capable.

By the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation's Olympic dress has been very mature.

But because of the importance of Olympic dress, the Olympic dress in China can not be too bold and stable.

Therefore, when the domestic economic development and the styles of clothing have reached unprecedented prosperity, the Olympic dress can only partly represent the fashion trend of domestic clothing, sometimes even conservative.
