The iconic UK heritage brand Ben Sherman, has unveiled the official Ceremonial Wear for the Team GB delegation, as well as  an exclusive retail capsule collection that seamlessly blends British heritage with contemporary fashion.


To celebrate their third consecutive Olympic partnership, Ben Sherman has spotlighted four exceptional Team GB athletes for its accompanying campaign. The campaign's vibrant visual narrative captures the essence of unity and athletic spirit, featuring BMX Racing star Kye Whyte, swimmer Jacob Peters, athletics champion Desiree Henry, and skateboarder Lola Tambling. Their images embody the energy and pride that define both the brand and the athletes.

Rachel Terrace, Chief Brand Officer of Ben Sherman at Marquee Brands, expressed her excitement, stating, “It’s an honour to continue our partnership with Team GB and to connect with our global community during a historic event where we’re all uniquely united. We’re excited to cheer on all Team GB athletes as they walk out onto the global stage this summer, sporting Ben Sherman designs rooted in the brand’s British heritage.”

Drawing inspiration from the UK's rich cultural heritage, the Ceremonial Wear and retail capsule collection are designed to promote unity and express a sense of national pride. A standout feature in the official athlete looks and retail collection is the specially designed four-nation floral motif, incorporating the rose, thistle, daffodil, and shamrock to represent the identities and histories of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

The Opening Ceremony attire includes a bomber-style jacket adorned with the four-nation floral design embroidered on the back. Paired with this is a knitted open-neck polo made from an organic cotton blend with a geometric motif in classic red and blue, and oxford trousers featuring a uniquely designed waistband. The outfit is completed with a stylish belt, supple suede loafers, and patterned socks created in collaboration with Happy Socks.


For the Closing Ceremony, athletes will don a floral shirt featuring the four-nation motif, oxford shorts, a styling belt, suede loafers, and specially designed Closing Ceremony liner socks, also in partnership with Happy Socks.

Tim Ellerton, Commercial Director at Team GB, highlighted the collaboration, saying, “We’ve been working closely with Ben Sherman and some of the Team GB athletes to develop the designs for the Ceremony wear over the past two years, and it’s brilliant to see them brought to life with a bright, fresh range that celebrates tradition whilst also being contemporary and fun.”


In tandem with unveiling the official ceremonial wear for Paris 2024, Ben Sherman introduces a retail capsule collection inspired by the looks worn by the Team GB delegation. This limited-edition collection includes an embroidered bomber jacket, a track top with floral printed knitted tape on the sleeves, knitted patterned and organic cotton polos, a floral printed casual shirt, and soft suede loafers.
