Netizens: China’s Olympic Uniforms Look Like Eggs and Tomatoes
Jun 01, 2016 By eChinacities.com

The Chinese uniforms for the Rio Olympics were unveiled yesterday in Suzhou, and are already being mocked by Netizens. Many claim that the uniforms remind them of the Chinese dish stir-fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs.

Male athletes will wear a red blazer, a white shirt, flowered tie, white trousers and white shoes. Female athletes have a yellow blazer, a white shirt, a flowered scarf, white skirt, and white shoes. The bright red and yellow blazers have caused Netizens to dub the uniforms “stir-fried tomatoes and scrambled eggs.”

Designer Ye Chaoying said that he used the color red because the color is used in traditional Chinese festivals and weddings. He also said that when Chinese athletes win, they like to wear the Chinese flag so he hopes that they feel like they are wearing the Chinese flag during the opening ceremony.

“The uniforms for this year are different than the ones worn in the Beijing and London Olympic Games. This year, the men’s uniforms are redder, and the yellow is barely visible,” said Ye. He added that that color red for this year’s uniforms was taken from the Tiananmen Tower and the red from the London uniforms was taken from the national flag.
