T-Shirt designs team pre-ordering available at discount HK$ 100 each

Order forms will be sent out to team representatives with size charts. Design concept: Based on the fire and water, two essential elements of harmony in Chinese philosophy, which also influences the theme for the set of posters for this year’s event. Fire is associated with the qualities of dynamism, strength and persistence; Water is representative of intelligence and wisdom, flexibility, calmness. Both characterise the essence of the game of lacrosse for men and women.

Second design holds elements representative of the homeland of the games. Standing in the heart of Hong Kong, look one way, you will see the famous natural geographical landmark of Hong Kong, the Lion Rock. Look the other way, you will see the well described representative skyline of the Hong Kong. Designer: Dr.J
