Olympic volunteer jackets


The Vancouver Olympic workforce uniform was designed by Hudson’s Bay Company design team, The bright blue is inspired by the scenery of the Sea to Sky region linking Whistler and Vancouver.
The smart design permits the uniforms to be used for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Snaps and velcro will allow the Olympic ring to be swapped for the Paralympic emblem.
Now you know.

The review is coming for the white suit, matching hat and red mitts.
I'm running on January 15, in a complete suit made in China, for a Canadian Olympic games.
Wonders never cease.
Garments like these ones make me wonder if the designers have tried these threads on, because it's like wearing landfill.
The mitts are slightly different from the ones available commercially. The maple leaf on the palm has raised rubber knubbies making it easier to hold onto the torch.
