    Default Gi - colour significance?

    We are in the process of designing Gi's, but to be honest, I have no background in Karate, Jui Jitsu or Judo, do the colours have any significance?

    Regards

    Google is your friend ..... MMA brand not knowing the importance of wearing a tie-dye gi is very disturbing ....

    No its fine, it can be any colour you want

    Blue, Black and White are the most common ones mind, I have started to see a few two tone red & white ones around the place mind.

    I cant remember the source but I'll try and dig it out but you can design and make a gi in any colour you want but to compete it has to be either white, blue or black.

    Im struggling to think of where I read it...
    Coffee drinker, prefer Pepsi and I'm kind of a big deal.

    From what I understand only black, blue and white can be used in competitions so it makes sense to have the bulk of them in those colours.

    Very rarely see red, purple etc so pointless making too many as they are for training only. Mind you jimbob kelly who posts on here wears a red one ( gay ) and it turns everybody elses white gi's pink !!

    Camouflage gi's specifically for white belts are very popular

    im curious to what u think mma stands for dude?


    ....added...

    dude if u have never done bjj or traditional martial arts, judo, ju jitsu etc, how can u design a gi effectively? is this not a fail before it starts?

    I hope your seeking professional advise because martial arts are serious and dodgey equipment can cause serious injury
