The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee recently unveiled the parade uniforms of the Taiwan team for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Designed by renowned fashion designer Khieng Fang, the uniforms, featuring a neon green color, will ensure the Taiwanese athletes shine at both the opening and closing ceremonies.
The uniforms this time include a Taiwanese-style straw hat, hoping to add an extra dash of style to the outfit. Not all the comments about the uniforms have been glowing. Some have said they look better than previous attempts, while others have been more critical, saying that any junior high school sports uniform would be an improvement.
Other countries’ Olympic teams have worked with designer brands, too. The US team will be wearing uniforms designed by Polo Ralph Lauren, the UK team will be wearing uniforms jointly designed by Stella McCartney and Adidas, the Canadian team is wearing Dsquared2, and the Swedish team is wearing H&M.

The uniforms of the Chinese team, as usual, feature the colors of red and yellow on China’s five-star flag. Even Chinese netizens have mocked the rather tacky design as looking like “stir-fried tomatoes and eggs.”

中華奧會發表里約奧運台灣代表隊團服，找來知名設計師方國強操刀，以螢光綠為主軸，要讓寶島運動員在開／閉幕式中驚豔全場。

至於各國的奧運代表隊，許多隊伍與知名時尚品牌合作。美國隊找上Polo Ralph Lauren，英國隊委託Stella McCartney與Adidas聯手打造，加拿大隊由Dsquared2操刀，瑞典隊則與H&M合作。
中國隊這次奧運的制服設計，一如既往採用五星旗的紅、黃兩色搭配，俗氣的設計連中國網友都吐槽像是「番茄炒蛋」。
