Malaysia 's Olympic attire, as well as the unveiling of the outfits for the Paris Games, has been widely criticised. The Olympic Council of Malaysia said on Friday that it has decided to improve the existing design to bring out the tiger motif on the jackets more clearly.Unveiled over the weekend, the gold-themed outfits with tiger stripe designs for the Paris Games were meant to reflect Malaysia 's pursuit of gold medals, according to sports officials.
Disapproving remarks poured in from Sunday soon after the uniforms were revealed to the public during a ceremony at a shopping centre in Kuala Lumpur, part of a 2024 World Olympic Day celebration. He said the decision to improve upon the look was made after taking into account feedback from all parties, including the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the National Sports Council and sports fans. OCM also acknowledged that the official jacket design was not well received.
"The gold version of the OCM logo, which combines the fluttering national flag and the five Olympic rings, complies with International Olympic Committee guidelines," said Mohamad Norza. "If the background is anything other than white, a monochrome or single-colour version must be used. For example, if the background is black, the logo should be used in a contrasting single colour such as white, yellow or blue," said a statement.
