With a large golf contingent going to Tokyo Olympics 2021 to represent the USA, Adidas has now released the uniforms the golfers will be wearing in Tokyo. Adidas has worked with a local Japanese designer for the uniforms.

Adidas is the official uniform provider for USA golf at the Tokyo Olympics 2021. It has worked in collaboration with Japanese artist, Hiroko Takahashi, in creating four different uniforms for each of the four days of the competition at the Olympics. The four uniforms are based on wind, forest, fire, and mountain.

“I designed the USA GOLF uniforms with links of circles and lines, imagining the powers of individuals coming together as one and spreading into infinite possibilities,? Takahashi said.

The uniforms house Adidas’ premium fabric technologies such as Ultimate365 and HEAT.RDY. Moreover, the uniforms are in American colors but the four elements on which the uniforms were designed are based on Japan.

“To wear something that represents not just Team USA, but also just a little more about the history and the culture we’re going to play these Olympics in, it just adds extra meaning to it,” World No.4 Collin Morikawa reacted to uniforms.

The next uniform resembles fire. And hence it is in red. It has a pattern that seems to be a little faded and is in black color. The pattern starts from the collar and turns towards the right-hand side.

And the last uniform is for mountains and is in dark blue color. From far it looks like a plain dark blue t-shirt, however, there are a few patterns in light blue.
