PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Black fitted jumpsuit with diagonal green and yellow chevron stripes and back zipper closure for easy on/off
This Mens Jamaican Bobsled Team Costume brings the 1988 Olympic underdog story to life with a fitted black jumpsuit striped in green and yellow — the iconic colours that made history at Calgary. The diagonal chevron pattern runs from right shoulder across the chest and down the left leg, mirroring the team uniform that became a global sensation.
Made from four-way stretch Lycra-spandex blend with a matte finish, it hugs your frame for that authentic athletic silhouette. Back zipper runs from upper back to mid-torso for quick changes. The asymmetrical stripe placement gives it visual punch — green outer band, yellow inner band, clean colour-blocking that photographs brilliantly at parties or costume runs.
Perfect For
80s & 90s Sports Parties: Natural pick for 1980s costume nights, Olympic-themed events, or any 90s nostalgia party where underdogs and feel-good films are the vibe.
Caribbean & Reggae Events: Works for Jamaica Day celebrations, Caribbean carnival parties, or any event with a tropical sports theme — pair with white sneakers and gold chains for full island energy.
Stag Dos & Costume Runs: Ideal for group costume runs, pub crawls, or stag weekends where you want coordinated team costumes that move well and stand out in photos.
How to Wear It
Pair with white athletic sneakers and a dreadlock wig (sold separately) to nail the full team look. Skip the jacket — the diagonal stripes do the talking. Add aviator sunglasses or a gold chain if you want extra swagger.
FAQs
Q: What size should I order?
A: This runs fitted — the Lycra blend has four-way stretch but is designed to hug your torso and limbs like activewear. Check the size chart for chest and hip measurements; if you're between sizes or prefer a less compression-fit feel, size up.
Q: Is the wig included?
A: No — the dreadlock wig shown in the photos is sold separately. The costume includes only the jumpsuit. Wigs and accessories are available in our Accessories collection.
Q: How do I get into this? Is there a zipper?
A: Yes — back zipper runs from upper back to mid-torso, making it easy to step in and zip up yourself. Stretch fabric gives you flex at shoulders and hips.
Q: Can I wear this for a sports-themed Book Week event or school staff costume day?
A: Absolutely — the 1988 bobsled team is a real-life Olympic story, perfect for sports heroes Book Week themes or any school event celebrating athletes and underdog stories. Pair with a prop bobsled cutout or Olympic rings for extra context.
Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Do not iron the stretch fabric.
