Emblazoned with flags and logos in Canada鈥檚 national colours, the uniforms that Canadian athletes will be sporting in Rio for the Summer Olympics and Paralympics have sparked a mixed reaction.

The unveiling on Team Canada鈥檚 Facebook page on Tuesday has received a combination of praise, disappointment and a splash of controversy.

Some fashion watchers commented that the classic red, white and black attire was too similar to past designs.

鈥淐an we please get a new design?鈥� Kim Pearson wrote on the Team Canada Facebook page. 鈥淲e have a lot of talented designers in this country, there is no reason for this repetition.鈥�

Canadian athletes will be wearing a red tailored blazer with flap pockets, black rubberized buttons and a zip pocket on the chest.  The back of the jacket features a giant, white maple leaf with 鈥淐ANADA鈥� written in black.

The design has been described as a formal take on athletic wear.

While some commented that the opening ceremony gear was 鈥渟o cool,鈥� others were not as impressed.

鈥淒Squared, the fashion house who brought us DSquaw,鈥� Armstrong wrote in Facebook messageto 麻豆影视. 鈥淪hame on all parties involved in this terrible decision.鈥�

Other pieces from the collection, including zip-up hoodies and scarves, had some wondering if the athletes wouldn鈥檛 be too warm under the Brazilian sun.
