With Covid-19 casting a shadow over much of the Olympic build up, you’d be forgiven for not being quite as ready for Olympic fever as you were this time five years ago. To help you get in the patriotic spirit, we’ve put together a selection of Team GB-inspired outfit, accessory and decoration suggestions, including items from the official Team GB kit.
Adidas released the official Team GB kit recently and, although there are no equestrian-specific items you can get your hands on, there are a few items that might suit yard life and others that are perfect for when you’re watching your favourite discipline from the comfort of your sofa.
Here are a few of our favourite items from the official Team GB kit collection below or jump down for some other non-official items that will add a bit more red, white and blue to your wardrobe and help you get ready for the excitement to come…
