Notes

Los Angeles 1984, uniform for a member of an International Federation. Levi’s and the Los Angeles 1984 Organising Committee worked on uniforms that followed the graphic line of the Games, functional but also elegant. The colours used for the uniforms allowed the various functions of their wearers to be identified, and how they looked on television seems to have been a decisive factor in their selection.
