“As the designer behind the Olympics jersey for the Indian contingent, this opportunity is not merely about clothing our athletes; it’s about encapsulating the essence of our nation’s spirit. Inspired by our terrains—each contour and flow echoing the resilience of our landscapes—we’ve created a design that is fierce, embodying the indomitable spirit of our athletes. Just as our terrains endure and evolve into forces of nature, our athletes rise as champions, reflecting the gleaming gold of India’s heart. It’s more than just fabric; it’s a symbol of pride, woven with the spirit of India’s champions,” Aaquib Wani said.
The design of the kit draws inspiration from the elements, landforms, water bodies and seasons that are unique to India. The apparel aims to impart a feeling of our land’s essence and force when our athletes set out to compete at the Paris Olympics 2024.
