The result is an innovative and transformative collection intended to represent a modern and diverse country. Keep scrolling for a closer look at the Team Canada Collection and to learn more details about the design process from the team at lululemon.
This product represents a modern Canada of diversity, innovation and transformation; a fresh, human portrait of a country that embodies courage, resilience and connection. We want fans and athletes to be proud of who they are and where they come from.
Q: How did lululemon involve athletes in the design process and what feedback did they provide that was most helpful? We worked with Canadian Olympians and Paralympians from a number of sports over an month period so that we could design an unbelievable athlete kit that would solve their unmet needs.
We wanted to understand how they wanted to feel in each of the pinnacle Games moments, such as walking into the Opening Ceremony or standing on the podium. We listened to the athletes through fit and feedback sessions.
We tested and validated for thermal performance, during which we learned such things as layering jackets adds warmth but optimizing space for airflow inside the layers increased measured and perceived warmth. Human-led design means we take athlete insights and create innovative solves so Team Canada Olympic and Paralympic athletes can feel their best to perform their best. Q: What has been integrated into the Beijing kit that is distinctly Canadian?
We were inspired by the symbolic maple leaf and its natural uniqueness and ever-changing state. We looked at the maple leaf as it shifts through the season.

She said the slopes of the ski mountain adjacent to Cypress, visible from her window, were green. All the more galling for the organisers is the fact that it is an entirely different experience on the east coast of America, which is experiencing its snowiest winter on record. Cities from Washington to New York were hit today by the second serious whiteout in days, with 40mph winds and snow falling at a rate of 5cm 2in an hour.
