Backlash against Olympic uniforms... Uğur Dündar: I'm seeing them in their pajamas for the first time

The excitement for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is beginning.

The event, which features 10,500 athletes from 206 delegations, opened yesterday with a magnificent ceremony.

Our Turkish national team, participating with 102 athletes, also made its passage on the Seine River.

The uniforms our national team will wear at the opening were designed by the famous fashion brand Vakko. The uniforms, first seen on our national athletes Mete Gazoz and Busenaz Sürmeneli, sparked criticism on social media.

Many users compared the uniforms designed by the famous brand to pajamas. Journalist Uğur Dündar also reacted to the uniforms worn by the national athletes.

In a post on his X account, Dündar stated, "I'm seeing our Olympic pride Busenaz Sürmeneli and Mete Gazoz in their pajamas for the first time..."
