IOC details Olympic Athlete from Russia uniforms, proposed logo

The Olympic Athlete from Russia athletes’ uniforms cannot have Russian national emblems, the IOC said Wednesday in issuing guidelines for the PyeongChang Olympics.

The uniforms must meet the following guidelines:

Athlete uniforms can include only two types of wording — “Olympic Athlete from Russia” and OAR
Where “Russia” is used with “Olympic Athlete from Russia,” “Russia” must be on a line below “Olympic Athlete from” and not in a larger size
Officials’ uniforms cannot include “Russia” at all, only OAR
Only one- or two-color elements are allowed (the Russian flag is three colors)

The said this logo has been proposed for OAR athletes (but not necessarily approved):
