adidas is launching the Archive Team GB collection in celebration of their long-running partnership with Team GB and it's way more Daley Thompson than Sally Gunnell. Which is good really, as Daley Thompson is the coolest Olympic athlete ever. Throughout his career, and especially at Los Angles 1984, Daley wore enviable adidas trackies which matched his anti-establishment, ultra-competitive persona perfectly.
The Archive Team GB Originals collection fuses signature Originals silhouettes with materials, colour palette and detailing inspired by the Team GB kit from the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games, when adidas sponsored Team GB for the very first time.
The Archive Team GB Originals collection, in keeping with the official competition wear of Games gone by, continues to feature red, white and blue taping detail. Every piece of apparel includes the distressed iconic Originals Trefoil logo and the Team GB flag, giving the range the official stamp of Team GB authenticity.
Consisting of just six pieces of apparel and four pieces of footwear, the classic #398 t-shirt, adapted from the jersey Daley Thompson wore at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games, is the hero piece of the collection, complete with Great Britain insignia and multi stripe execution. Other highlights of the apparel include classic white double-knit Firebird track top, with red and blue detailing, as well as the red, blue and white panelled Windbreaker, in lightweight technical material.
Archive footwear offers 3 classic indoor sports styles in retro Team GB colourways: the Gazelle Indoor in dark indigo with white three stripe taping and scarlet inner, as well as in white with Team GB multi stripe execution; the Tobacco in airforce blue; and the ever classic Handball 5 Plug with Team GB colour-up.
