Our View:
This uniform update stems from official requirements by the FIE and applies specifically to international competitions. For regular local training and matches, these patches are not mandatory. However, if you plan to compete internationally or wish to update your uniform, please ensure the patch used is regulation-compliant and officially sourced from the Association. This is important for representing Hong Kong correctly and avoiding potential disqualification due to improper attire.
