Glasgow-based brand returning to kit out volunteers at 2026 Commonwealth Games

Thousands of volunteers will be kitted out by Trespass at next year’s Commonwealth Games.

The Glasgow-based outdoor clothing company has been named the official uniform partner for the 2026 Games, which will take place in the city from July 23 to August 2.

Trespass will design, produce, and supply uniforms for volunteers and workforce members, marking the second time it has held this role following its involvement in the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

This return makes them the first-ever brand to kit out the volunteers and workforce for two editions of the Games.

Afzal Khushi CBE and Akmal Khushi D. Univ., joint founders of Trespass, said: “It’s great to be back.

“When we designed the uniform in 2014, we thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“So, getting the chance to be part of the Games again, in our home city, and design a second uniform is truly special.

“We know how important the uniform is for uniting the Games workforce and we’re now working hard to create a design that’s the perfect fit for Glasgow 2026.”

The uniforms will be made from Trespass’ signature technical materials and will be worn by thousands of team members and volunteers throughout the Games.

Sarah Quinn, who volunteered at the 2014 Games, said: “Receiving my uniform at the 2014 Commonwealth Games was the moment everything became real.

“Wearing it gave me a sense of belonging to such a unique and exciting experience.

“I can’t wait to see the 2026 design.”

Trespass first outfitted Commonwealth Games volunteers in 2014 with a red, white, and grey uniform that became synonymous with the event.

Jade Gallagher, chief operating officer of Glasgow 2026, said: “It’s great to welcome back Trespass to the Games as a returning sponsor for 2026.

“The Games uniform means so much to our volunteers and is the first thing athletes and spectators will see as they approach our iconic venues.

“It is important that we have the best team producing it and we’re confident that with Trespass as our partner we will deliver a sustainable and iconic uniform design that will make Scotland and Glasgow proud.

“The people of Glasgow are truly at the heart of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, so it feels fitting that Trespass, a homegrown brand with over 40 years of experience in activewear and a sponsor of the 2014 Commonwealth Games is returning to design another uniform that will celebrate the city’s vibrant culture and unique heritage.”
