One of the best things about working in events is getting
your uniform. Your uniform means you are part of the team, you are ready to do
your job and most important of all you are the face of the event.
Once in uniform spectators don’t know if you a volunteer or
the venue manager so it’s always important that you conduct yourself in the
best manner possible.
Uniforms can range from a simple t-shirt with the event name
to a full on kit including bag, shoes and multiple items of clothing, you
probably all remember the red and purple games makers uniforms from London
2012!
Your uniform has to be practical, durable and wearable in
all weather conditions. For summer events you may need a hat and similarly for
winter events a warm jacket. Most importantly you have to be identifiable, both
to spectators and to your other colleagues. Another benefit of having a uniform
is not having to think about what to wear every day, especially handy during
busy event times!
I have had a good few
uniforms whilst working on events, some good, some not so good and I always
love to see what the big international events come up with. In fact I picked my
latest uniform up today (see my twitter withjulez for a sneak peak!)
Below are some of my favourites from recent years, for very different reasons!!
 |
| The now famous London 2012 uniform |
 |
| Sochi went erm.. retro for the Winter Olympics! |
 |
| There was a very..bright(!) ensemble at the Asian Games in 2006... |
 |
| One of my favourite uniforms was in Vancouver 2010 |
 |
| The Beijing uniform in 2008, very similar to the European Games in Baku this year. |
What are your thoughts on event uniforms, love them, hate them!? Let me know!
