Bulgarian Spartathlon Team suit design 2018
"Spartathlon is a 246-kilometre (153 mi) ultramarathon race held annually in Greece since 1983, between Athens and Sparti, the modern town on the site of ancient Sparta. As opposed to the ahistorical origin story of the marathon, the spartathlon is based on the historical run of Pheidippides, who ran from Athens to Sparta before the Battle of Marathon in a day and a half to seek aid against the Persians."- Wikipedia
This year's Bulgarian participant in the race was Hristo Tsvetkov (www.strava.com/athletes/13494715) - a young runner with exceptional performance during his preparations for the Spartathlon.
My task was to design his and his support team running suits.
The idea behind the design interprets the route going between Athens and Sparta.
The graphics include laurel wreaths which are symbols of victory and honor.
The color palette is based on the Bulgarian national flag - white, green, red with a touch of gold.
There are two sets of identical designs - one for the participant in the race and one for his support team. They distinguish from each other by color.
