The 2016 Rio Olympics are finally here and the opening ceremony is underway. Before the athletes walk around the track in front of the flashing cameras and millions of viewers on television, they have to prep and prepare for the night.

Before the ceremony even began, Sports Illustrated‘s Andrew Sharp ran into a few Australian Olympians and noticed something interesting about their jackets. Besides being modern, yet classic, with cool greenish stripes, the inside of the coat had words on it.

Opening up the jacket for Sharp to see, he noticed the names of all Australian Olympic gold medalists listed.

The Australian Olympic team definitely arrived in style. This is such a nice attention to detail that not many teams will have, but the Aussies went all out.

To fit the names of every Olympic gold medalist in the country’s history requires a lot of detailing, but the designers of the outfits definitely nailed it. While Team USA’s outfits looked pretty cool as well, the Australian team might have the best unnoticed style to them.

It’s no ‘light-up’ jacket of Team USA, but Australia won the undercover cool award for the night. Can they add some more names to the jacket before the two-week even in Rio is over?
