This week, Hudson’s Bay unveiled the new uniforms the Canadian athletes will be wearing at the upcoming summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio this summer.
The uniforms are designed by Canadian duo Dan and Dean Caten behind the brand Dquared2. The 2016 “Team Canada Collection†features stylish and athletic shapes, where the main attraction is a tailored jacket that features a sartorial finish with flap pockets, gum covered snap buttons, ribbed cuffs, and a bonded zip pocket on the chest.

The full Rio 2016 Olympic kit includes leisurewear, jackets, pants, and accessories.
The Olympic uniform will be worn by 315 athletes during the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games. Dsquared2 also designed the uniforms for the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver.
How does Team Canada feel about their new uniforms?
“The collection captures the strength of Canada, unifying performance, patriotism and style to create a look that is iconic, modern, and most of all, passionately Canadian!â€
If you’re looking to pick up some new threads to wear to cheer on the team, the official Team Canada replica wear will be priced between $19.99 to $150 and will be available at all Hudson’s Bay locations across Canada and available online starting May 4th.
