Canadian clothing giant Mule
lulhemon published his Team Canada projects for 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The games will begin on February 6 and will last until February 22, 2026.

Lululemon, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee revealed new Team Canada jerseys on Tuesday ahead of the 2026 Milan Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Cortina, marking the apparel brand's third Games as Team Canada's official kit supplier.

Canadian hockey player Sidney Crosby will join Lululemon's roster of Team Canada Ambassadors for 2026 along with Cynthia Appiah, William Danginou, Piper Gilles, Emma Maltais, Paul Poirier, Cassie Sharp, Tyler Turner and Natalie Wilkie.

The opening ceremony look uses the iconic red leaf, but the symbol is presented in a larger, elongated version that takes up almost the entire length of a maroon quilted vest worn over a knee-length maroon jacket.

Lululemon worked closely with athletes across Canada to help understand their needs at every step of the Olympic journey and strived to make uniforms both stylish and functional.

“Partnering with Canada's top athletes, we've applied the knowledge and experience of our last two Games to create a kit that places a greater emphasis on innovation and inclusivity, while delivering both functionality and style,” said Calvin McDonald, CEO of Lululemon.

“As a country that thrives in cold weather, the Winter Games have a special meaning for Canadians, and all of us at lululemon are incredibly proud to support Team Canada on the world's biggest sporting stage with products designed for and with athletes.”

The kit is designed with layers and insulation to help athletes prepare for the different temperatures and elements they will face at the Winter Games, from urban to mountaintop conditions.

Another design feature is inclusivity, including adaptive footwear, a sit-down fit, abrasion-resistant fabrics and features such as braille and magnetic zippers.

There is also an element of Canadian pride in the design as it tells the story of Canada. They take inspiration from the country's landscapes and environments, including a maple leaf design and a topographic map print.

Brand ambassador and Olympic skier Cassie Sharp gushed about the bright red runway jacket she modeled in a pre-show interview on Tuesday, pointing out the swirl pattern that is actually a topographical map of Canada.

“I like that they thought about putting a topographical map on the bottom. And then there's sort of a waterproof mesh layer on top,” Sharp said, adding that she also liked how the zipper tag said “Canada” on one side and repeated in braille on the other side.

Athletes, coaches and support staff will wear Team Canada apparel at key moments during games, including the opening and closing ceremonies, awards ceremonies, media appearances, travel and daily life in the sports villages.

Key element of the final look is a jacket with a large hood, neck protector and built-in backpack straps, so the jacket can be worn in warm weather.

The Paralympic Games will take place from March 6 to 15, 2026.

Keep scrolling to see other designs Team Canada have used at Olympic opening ceremonies in recent years.

2024

Location: Paris, France

What Canadian athletes wore: Team Canada entered the stadium for the official opening of the Olympic Games wearing red bomber jackets, red shorts and pants, over red short-sleeved shirts and Lululemon sneakers.

It was also included designed to wick away sweat and features breathable mesh and a convertible design to keep athletes comfortable in Paris' changing weather.

2022

Location: Beijing, China

What Canadian athletes wore: Canada is known to be a pretty cold place for most of the year, but it was decided that Lululemon's puffy vests layered over puffy coats, complemented by puffy scarves, thick mittens and puffy hats might have been overkill.

2021

Location: Tokyo, Japan

What Canadian athletes wore: Although 370 athletes represented the Great White North – the largest Olympic team since 1984 – in Tokyo, only a small number of them took part in the opening ceremonies due to the terrible pandemic sweeping the world. And you may remember that the Games were delayed a year due to COVID-19, meaning the 2020 Summer Games actually took place in 2021.

Dressed in white pants and red track jackets with the word “CANADA” on one arm, the 2021 uniform was designed by Hudson's Bay. As a sign of special patriotism, a large maple leaf prominently featured on the back of each jacket was made up of 13 lines, symbolizing the unity of Canada's 10 provinces and three territories.
