POND ISLAND — Team Sint Maarten has new sports uniforms. The St. Maarten Tourism Bureau (STB), the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sport (MECYS), and the St. Maarten Sports Federation (SMSF), in collaboration with local designer Zillah Duzon-Hazel of Jolie Duzon, have unveiled the new official uniforms.
The initiative provides athletes representing Sint Maarten at regional and international competitions with a unified and recognizable visual national identity.
Two uniform concepts were developed. The ceremonial design celebrates the island’s cultural and natural heritage, while the travel design prominently incorporates the national flag, making Team Sint Maarten immediately recognizable during international appearances.
The designs feature several elements inspired by Sint Maarten, including the brown pelican, yellow sage, sunrise, sea foam, and coral ecosystems. The national motto, Semper Pro Grediens - “Always Progressing”, reflects the grit, ambition, and forward movement of Sint Maarten and its athletes.
Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Traffic and Telecommunication, the Honorable Grisha Heyliger-Marten, welcomed the initiative as an example of how sports, tourism, and the creative industries can work together to strengthen the country’s international profile.
