The Olympics: Supporting Style

With the Olympics kicking off on August the 5^th it's time to get in the spirit of the competition and support Team GB as they race for Gold! With over 10,500 athletes competing in the competition from all over the world get ready to cheer on GB as they compete in events ranging from athletics to archery and triathlon to tennis.

The Olympics is an instantly recognisable event with five coloured rings on a white background remaining the symbol of competition for generations. Originally designed to include at least one colour from every country (blue, yellow, black, green, red and white) the Olympics is all about inviting every country in the world to join for a month of sporting action. They show a meeting of athletes from all over the world and spectators coming together. Take inspiration from the uniting colours and support the competitors in matching colours!
