Team GB Athletes to Wear Traditional Union Jack at Olympics Following BacklashTeam GB athletes will wear the traditional Union Jack at the Olympics this summer, following a backlash over the team's pink and purple redesign. Designers for Team GB said changes were made to the Union Jack as the colours "synonymous with Great Britain" were "far from unique". Bath-based design agency Thisaway said they needed to find a way to “refresh” the colour palette ahead of this year's Paris Olympics.

Nike revealed it had altered the cross using purple and blue horizontal stripes in what it called a "playful update" to the shirt.
