Among these blues, sky blue was chosen for its calmness.The color is meant to represent the hope that the Korean national team will shine brightly amongst the various national teams.
Considering the hot weather in Paris, France, the blazer and slacks setup is made from summer-ready wool for comfort and ease of wear. The lining is lined with a traditional Korean blue and white porcelain patterns , bringing out the traditional beauty of Korea. In addition, a belt that reinterprets the official's belt (gakdae) worn around the waist in traditional official robes was made separately, adding style to the relaxed suit fit.
In addition to the set-up, the uniform includes a T-shirt made of cool, sweat-absorbing and quick-drying functional material and white sneakers in the shape of running shoes.
