Recycled plastic bottles used to make jerseys for Thai athletes at 32nd Sea Games

Thailand's official SEA Games jersey maker Grand Sport has released the collection of kits that Thai athletes would wear when competing at the upcoming 32nd SEA Games 2023 in Cambodia.

The company’s managing director, Thiti Pluckchaoom, said that the jerseys for the athletes were designed with a contemporary style, under the concept of "Beyond The Spirit, Beyond Sportswear".

Thai athletes show spirit throughout their entire careers, not only when competing. To succeed, they must put in a hard effort and make sacrifices, he said.

Thiti said the collar shirts in this set were made using recycled plastic bottles to mitigate waste and raise awareness about global warming.

The collar jerseys are also lightweight and quick-dry as well as antibacterial, which prevents them from being smelly. Meanwhile, jackets are being made of stretchy grand poly fabric, with the word "Thailand" written in gold on the back and the Thailand flag on the breast.

He said the jerseys were personalised for athletes of different sports.

The Grand Sport 2023 collection is now on sale at its stores across the country.

The 32nd SEA Games with 49 sports will be held on May 5-17 in Phnom Penh and four localities of Siem Reap, Preah Sihanouk, Kampot, and Kep./.
