There will be two different designs for polo shirts one for the `Field Cast’ volunteers working at competition venues and athletes’ village and one for the `City Cast’volunteers, who are to assist tourists and manage traffic at airports and train stations.
A committee made up of Olympians, Paralympians, fashion experts and sporting volunteers voted on the uniform design in March.
Sportswear manufacturer Asics Corp., an official partner of the Games, will make the uniforms. (NAN)
