The Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) is considering to redesign the country's official attire for the Paris Olympics 2024
Citing an unnamed source, the New Straits Times sports section, called Timesport, reported that OCM is currently in discussions with sports equipment company Yonex to redesign new attire for Malaysian athletes competing in Paris.
"OCM is currently sorting this out with Yonex to produce exclusive attire only for athletes.
"A limited number will be produced for an estimated 25 athletes," said the source.
Timesport, however, reported that other members of the national Olympics team, such as coaches, support staff, and officials, will continue using the controversial attire unveiled on Sunday, 23 June
As of now, 22 Malaysian athletes have qualified for the Paris Olympics.
Over the past few days, Malaysians have voiced dissatisfaction with the official Olympics attire unveiled on Sunday.
They took to social media to criticise the outfit for being "low effort", "cheap quality", and "outdated".
OCM stated that the official attire was designed with a gold theme to symbolise Malaysia's "relentless pursuit of the elusive gold medal" at the Olympics.
