Australian Olympic team chef de mission for Paris and cycling legend Anna Meares says the inclusion of the Olympic oath 'at heart level' on blazers to be worn by team members marks a special moment for every athlete.
The uniforms Australian athletes will wear at the opening ceremony, which will be watched by a global television audience of more than one billion, were unveiled on Wednesday, with the special inclusion in the blazers the standout.
For the first time, the Australian Olympians' Oath will be on the inside jacket pocket, with the names of all 301 Australian Olympic champions throughout the jacket lining.
The hero piece outfits will also feature Indigenous artwork 'Walking Together' from Olympic boxer Paul Fleming in the pocket square and scarf and with the Olympians' oath on the inside lining.
'Wearing an Australian Olympic opening ceremony uniform is a rare and special moment,' Meares said.
