BANGKOK: The blue jacket designed for Thailand’s Olympic athletes won many derogatory comments from netizens on Thursday (July 18), prompting Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin (pic left) to step in and say everybody should be respectful.
The jacket (pic right), which Thai athletes will wear in the opening ceremony of Paris 2024 on July 26, was introduced online on Thursday and went viral almost immediately. Many complained that it was far inferior compared to the Olympic uniforms designed by other countries.
