Inspired by traditional Chinese landscape painting
The uniforms and equipment for the Beijing Winter Olympics include clothing, shoes, and accessories. The exterior design is inspired by traditional Chinese landscape paintings and the snow-capped mountains that are the core graphics of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The design of the core graphics of the Beijing Winter Olympics demonstrates the traditional Chinese idea of "Taoism and Nature, Unity of Nature and Man". It combines the shapes of the mountains and the Great Wall in the Beijing-Zhangjia District, as well as the green landscapes of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", using Chinese ink painting charm. The brushstrokes, thick and thin lines, and the layers of virtual and real far and near, ingeniously blend traditional aesthetics with ice and snow sports.
In the choice of color, the calm ink color and the vigorous Xia Guanghong show the hard work and enthusiasm of the staff, the neutral Great Wall gray shows the objective and fairness of the technical officials, and the bright sky blue shows the youthful vitality of the volunteers, and the pure Ruixue As a harmonious color, white symbolizes the "Ruixue Zhaofeng Year".
Yan Cheng, director of the Human Resources Department of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, said that referring to the working principles of the International Olympic Committee, learning from previous Winter Olympics preparation experience and uniform category setting conventions, according to the specific climatic conditions and different scenarios of Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou during the game, The uniform and equipment categories are planned for the work needs of different positions.

Connecting Beijing Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics
Since 2019, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has established a uniform and equipment expert committee to check the selection of uniform and equipment fabrics, version upgrades, and appearance design.
Relying on the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and Anta Company, the "Uniform Equipment R&D Laboratory" was established to continuously research and develop fabrics, structures, processes, etc., and complete sample tests.
At the same time, a global public solicitation of the visual appearance design of uniform equipment for the Beijing Winter Olympics has received a total of 602 sets and more than 10,000 works from home and abroad.
The designer of the final plan is He Yang from Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, who is also the uniform designer for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
From the Summer Olympics to the Winter Olympics, the Olympic uniforms must not only have the same design principles, but also make technological breakthroughs and conceptual innovations based on the characteristics of the winter events.
He Yang said: “First, the uniform design must convey the cultural characteristics of the host country, which is different from the previous uniforms. Second, it must consider fashion and function. Environment."
She gave an example of the double Olympic heritage of the uniform. The gray ink image of the winter Olympic uniform tops is derived from the Great Wall gray in the colors of the Winter Olympics.
The Great Wall Grey is an extension of the colors of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, connecting the Beijing Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, reflecting the style of the "Double Olympic City".

Technological innovation to achieve light and warm
Lightweight, warmth, beautiful and comfortable, is the meaning of the winter Olympic uniform research and development.
The Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee has carried out multiple rounds of layout adjustment and optimization. Based on the professional winter sports equipment and ergonomic principles, it adopts functional fabrics and three-dimensional tailoring methods, taking into account the needs of indoor and outdoor multi-scene operations under dynamic and static conditions, and realizes the overall Orientation protection and auxiliary support.
In the use of materials, due to the special climatic conditions of winter sports, uniforms must not only resist the severe cold, windproof and warmth, but also breathable and moisture-permeable, light and comfortable.
But windproof and breathable, warmth and lightness are objectively contradictory.
The Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee achieves a balance through scientific material selection and dressing combinations to meet the needs of all scenarios to the greatest extent.
In terms of process selection, according to the 3D functional partition of the human body, the back, underarms and other parts of the functional underwear suit that are prone to sweating are spliced with single-item moisture-conducting materials and skin-friendly quick-drying materials to achieve multi-functional requirements.
The cold-proof clothing adopts the hot-melt pressing process of the inner seamless thread, which achieves the excellent characteristics of windproof, waterproof, and anti-fleece.
The fleece fabric achieves anti-static effect through post-processing and improves overall wearing comfort.
In the production process, the uniform design pattern must be scaled and positioned according to the corresponding proportion on each uniform of different sizes, so the biggest challenge comes from the positioning and printing process.
Anta's technical department and supply chain companies have made a lot of adjustments and improvements in the process, so that the patterns and colors can be perfectly presented on the uniform.

Practicing the concept of green environmental protection and sustainability
The uniforms and equipment for the Beijing Winter Olympics also practice green environmental protection and sustainability in all aspects of design, production, and distribution.
For example, the yarns used in equipment storage bags are all environmentally friendly yarns produced by recycling waste plastic products; packaging bags are made of biodegradable masterbatch, with a 180-day degradation rate of more than 90%; shoe and boot leather processing The process adopts patented water-saving technology.
In the work related to uniforms and equipment during the match, the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee followed the principle of frugal running the Olympics and adopted a series of measures to save the cost of running the games.
Including the use of the double emblems of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics in the Winter Olympics uniforms and equipment to improve the sustainability of uniforms and reduce the number of uniforms issued for the Winter Paralympics; when determining the production order, according to limited data, work The gender ratio and size distribution of personnel, volunteers, and technical officials have been repeatedly calculated, and the gender ratio of uniforms and equipment during the match and the number of each size number segment have been reasonably estimated, and the stocking volume has been scientifically controlled.
