New mask design for Australia approved by FIE

After careful consideration involving consultation with the Athletes Commission, National Coaches and equipment suppliers, a mask drawing has been approved for use by Australian fencers.

Painted masks for national teams were introduced at the 2012 London Olympic Games. Since then, the International Fencing Federation (FIE) has allowed members to submit national designs for approval for use at FIE events. The approved designs do not form part of national uniforms and are not compulsory. However, only the FIE approved designs are permitted at FIE events.

Details of the approved design for Australian fencers, including colour specifications and artwork, are available in the updated AFF Logo and Uniform Policy (Here).

The artwork was created by Salt Design, the same team behind the AFF logo launched in 2019.
