In collaboration with Nike, the national team will debut its latest uniforms against world No. 6 Latvia and No. 23 Georgia in Group A as it hopes to get a crack at an Olympic spot that has eluded the country for over five decades. “The colors remind me of the blue oceans that surround the Philippines with the yellow signifying the rays of the sun,” said guard Chris Newsome.
It has been 52 years since the Philippines sent a basketball team to the Olympics, when the likes of legend Bogs Adornado, Yoyong Martires, Manny Paner, and Freddie Webb represented the country in the 1972 Munich Games.
