Italian designer Giorgio Armani officially unveiled the Italy Olympic kit on 10 May, 2012 in Milan. For the 2012 event, a set of Armani luggage containing the 50-piece, dark blue and white clothing will be handed to all athletes.

Inscribed within the jackets and sweatshirts are the words of Italy’s national anthem while the polo shirts will have the words to the beginning of the song under the collar.

Mr Armani said that he was very honoured to participate with fellow fashion competitors like Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney for designing the uniforms for the event. Mr Armani has not, however, created clothes in which the athletes will race, swim, cycle, or otherwise compete.
