London 2012 unveils official uniform for volunteers

 　　LONDON, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- The London Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) unveiled the designs of the Games Maker¹ uniform on Tuesday.

　　The Games Maker uniform, designed by LOCOG in association with London 2012's official sportswear provider adidas, will be worn by around 70,000 volunteers and 6,000 LOCOG staff during the London 2012 Games.

　　The uniform has a deep purple and poppy red color scheme. The color combination is based upon a contemporary twist of a regal purple and vibrant² Grenadier Guards red. The combinations of vibrant and fresh colors will provide a distinctive³ look and allow Games Makers⁴ to stand out in the crowd.

　　Games Makers who will be volunteering and working at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games will have the same uniform. The logo will change on the back and front of the jacket from Olympic to Paralympic and Games Makers will receive new t-shirts and a hat. However, the trousers, shoes and other accessories will remain the same.

　　Besides, LOCOG, in association with British retailer⁵ and London 2012's official clothing and homeware supplier Next, designed the formal wear uniform that will be worn by around 4,500 Technical Officials during the London 2012 Games.
