Some fans of the Malaysian Olympic team were also unhappy with how the attire was unveiled.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia n Olympic chiefs will ask fans to help design the country’s next Olympic kit, after the national attire for the Paris Games received flak online.
Among the outfits were tracksuits, polo shirts and T-shirts, with some fans unhappy also at how they were unveiled - on a series of mannequins. Footage of the ceremony showed the mannequins first wrapped in black cloth, with the fabric later removed following a countdown. Celebratory music and a smattering of applause could be heard.
A Facebook post about the event by the council attracted dozens of negative comments, with some branding the look “extremely shameful” and “hideous”. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Hamidin clarified that the Malaysian flag on the attire represented the official OCM logo.
