the UAE National Olympic Committee unveiled the uniforms designed for the Emirati Olympians. Rawdha Al Shaafar, a founder from A Friend of Mine by Xpoze, highlighted the design’s modern simplicity. “The design is modern and simple at the same time. The color white was chosen for its strength, peace, and purity. This colour reflects a new beginning that the athletes will embark on.
