KUALA LUMPUR, JUNE 28: Malaysian officials agreed Friday to redesign some of the countrys kit for next months Paris Olympics after fans derided the outfits as "ugly" and "cheap looking".

Controversy erupted when the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) unveiled the gold-themed outfits featuring a tiger-stripe design last weekend.

Touted as symbolising Malaysias "relentless pursuit for gold medals", the garments including tracksuits, polo shirts and T-shirts quickly became a target of public derision. —AFP
