When Team NT marches in to the 2024 Arctic Winter Games in Mat-Su, Alaska, in March, theySA国际影视传媒檒l do so wearing some familiar-looking colours.
The official uniform for the team was officially unveiled at the Multiplex on Wednesday in conjunction with Bell LetSA国际影视传媒檚 Talk Day, which is designed to raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a three-piece outfit with a navy blue outer shell jacket, teal pants and a teal puffer inner layer.
