   Badges and Uniforms 1960

In February plans were made for badges for athletes, directors, judges, etc. and in March 1958 the coinage of the winners' medals and the commemorative medal was approved. Later, a plan for badges of 66 different types was also approved. (Table No. 2). This table shows that 12,341 badges were handed over. In the meantime a total of 16,276 commemorative medals were also distributed.



Besides the badges of the various sports categories and the commemorative medals, the Section, at the beginning of 1960, decided on the types of uniforms which were distributed to officials and personnel of the Organizing Committee. Thus all the technical delegates, competition judges, and timekeepers chosen by the various International Sports Federations had a special uniform, identical in all cases, with the exception of the different badge worn according to the sport practiced. The uniform was made up of grey tropical wool cloth consisting of: a single-breasted jacket with three buttons and patch-pockets; on the pocket of the jacket was applied the symbol of the Rome Olympic Games for members of the Organizing Committee; trousers of the same material; white shirt; silk tie with the official badge of the Games; blue leather belt; white socks; white and black shoes. Judges and timekeepers only were also provided, when on competition sites in the open, with a transparent raincoat.

The women also had a uniform made in the same cloth, styled like a " chemisier " dress with open pointed collar, with side pleats on the front of the bodice running from collar to waist. The badge was attached to the sleeves. The skirt was stitched to the bodice also with pleats all round and two side pockets hidden in the pleats. A belt and bag in black canvas with white leather ornamentation in front was also provided, the bag with white leather shoulder strap and fastening.
