Team England: Chasing Commonwealth success

Team England arrive in Glasgow as one of the leading sporting nations in the Commonwealth after an impressive Birmingham 2022 campaign, finishing second on the medal table with 57 golds.

With world-class athletes across a range of sports, expectations will once again be high as they target more standout performances.

They will do so wearing a kit that reflects performance and place. Unveiled by Kukri, the design draws inspiration from Glasgow’s iconic art and architecture, combining bold visuals with high-performance materials developed alongside athletes.

Team Canada: A nation built for big moments

Canada enjoyed a hugely successful Birmingham Games, finishing third overall with 92 medals, including 26 golds.

Among the standouts was Summer McIntosh, who at just 15 claimed gold in the 400m individual medley, while also breaking a record and adding five more medals.

Known for producing elite talent across sports, Canada will arrive in Glasgow with a combination of experienced performers and emerging athletes eager to make their mark.

Kukri will once again provide official ceremony wear and athlete apparel, continuing a successful partnership from the past two Games.

After securing three medals at Birmingham 2022, including a gold medal from Sada Williams in the women’s 400m, the nation will look to build on that success and inspire the next generation.

Kukri’s long-standing partnership with Barbados continues into Glasgow, with designs that proudly showcase the nation’s identity and colours.
