To join Rio 2016 sponsor and supporter team, the production and sustainability standards of the company were evaluated by Rio 2016 in a process that began approximately one year ago. The uniforms design will be approved in December, and production will commence by May 2015. The uniforms will be launched in the first half of 2016.
