ANTWERP, 1920: Our very first Olympic team, chaperoned by swimmer Violet Walrond's dad, Cecil, and in uniforms that look distinctly home made. Check out the piping on those blazers - it's not a million miles from the 1936 look. NEW ZEALAND, 1936: These Olympic Games were notable for other reasons (Berlin, 1936...

NEW ZEALAND, 2000: For the reveal of this batch of uniforms, athletes were posed with sheep in central Auckland.
