The designs presented on Tuesday have sparked heated discussion online over their bright use of colour, with some saying the uniforms look the Chinese dish stir-fried tomatoes and scrambled egg, the state-run news agency Xinhua reported.
Male athletes will wear a red jacket with white trousers and white shoes, while female athletes will wear yellow jackets with a white skirt and white shoes.
Similar style uniforms were used by China’s team at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and were created by the same designer Ye Chaoying.

Ye was quoted as saying that he decided to keep using red in his latest design because the colour is often used during festive occasions in Chinese culture.
