Behind the uniform design for Chinese athletes at Tokyo Olympics

Color along with graphics can convey the visual characteristics of a country and express a more accurate national image. The hem of the white dress for female athletes features China's national flower, the peony, and the source for the pattern was drawn from a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) peony bowl, which is representative of traditional Chinese aesthetics.
The design of the men's shirts is inspired by the five-star graphic pattern of China's national flag. It reflects the spirit of the Chinese Olympic team to fight together for national honor.
