Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to bibs, and more particularly to bibs worn to divide a given group into multiple teams and identify them. [Background technology]

[0002] Bibs have been known for some time that are worn by athletes to divide teams in sports or to distinguish between substitute players and players playing in practice matches (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] In addition to sports, bibs are also worn in many other situations, such as during disasters, events, disaster prevention drills, volunteer activities, and medical activities, and wearing a bib makes the wearer stand out.

[0004] For example, in sports, players can wear different colored bibs depending on the team, making it easy to divide them into teams by the color of the bib. Also, wearing bibs of the same color can create a sense of unity within the team.

[0005] During an event, the roles of staff members can be printed on bibs in advance and they can be made to wear the bibs with the roles printed on them, making it easy to identify the roles of each staff member.

[0006] In addition, during emergencies such as disaster medical care, rescuers can be made to wear bibs with their role, such as doctor or nurse, printed on them, making it easier to identify rescuers in need and allowing rescue operations to be carried out smoothly.

[0007] Thus, bibs are vests made primarily of mesh fabric that identify the wearer's team, role, etc., and are worn over the wearer's existing clothing.

[0008] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses bibs that are made of water-repellent fabric, which makes them less likely to absorb sweat from athletes wearing them, solving the problem of sweat accumulating inside the bib and causing condensation.

[0009] Specifically, the bibs disclosed in Patent Document 1 are made of water-repellent fabric, and are characterized in that the stitches of the water-repellent fabric are formed to a size that satisfies color discrimination, anti-condensation properties, and heat dissipation properties.

[0010] As a result, in addition to the bibs' water-repellent fabric preventing them from absorbing the wearer's sweat, their color distinctiveness allows people looking at the bibs to properly identify their color, their non-condensing properties prevent sweat from accumulating inside the bibs, and their heat dissipation properties reduce sweating by the wearer.

[0011] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-26744 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0012] However, when athletes wear bibs and roles or team composition change frequently, there is a problem that the bibs worn by the athletes must be changed each time.

[0013] For example, in the case of training in which participants are identified by wearing bibs, training cannot be carried out efficiently if participants only train with people with the same role.

[0014] Specifically, when conducting training in passing the ball between the opposing team and the friendly team, it is better to switch opponents or teams for the passing training rather than repeatedly passing the ball with the same opposing players, as this allows for a variety of training patterns because the players can pass the ball with different opponents.

[0015] However, setting aside time to change bibs within the limited training time is extremely inefficient, because exchanging bibs requires time to find someone to swap with, take off your bib, swap bibs with the other person, and then put on the swapped bib.

[0016] For example, in order to change roles and team composition five times within the limited 30-minute training time, it is necessary to change bibs five times. This causes a problem that much of the 30-minute training time is taken up by the time spent changing bibs. In other words, the actual training time is shortened.

[0017] In addition, by frequently and instantly changing roles and team composition within a limited time, it is possible to train not only the body but also the brain. For example, by instantly switching between teammates and opponents, the brain's flexibility and processing speed can be trained.

[0018] However, in order to change team composition frequently within a limited time, it is necessary to change bibs. Therefore, it is not possible to change roles and responsibilities instantly or to change team composition frequently and instantly. In other words, it is not possible to exercise the body and train the brain at the same time.

[0019] Also, having time to change bibs during training can be problematic as it can break the concentration of players who are concentrating on training. If the bibs are not changed, the training time will not be shortened and the concentration of the players will not be broken, but this means that training will always be done with the same roles and team composition, and it will not be possible to do various training patterns or exercise and brain training at the same time.

[0020] In addition, as mentioned above, bibs become covered in a lot of sweat and dirt after use, so replacing the bibs means replacing them with bibs covered in other people's sweat and mud, which is very unsanitary and uncomfortable to wear.

[0021] To solve this unsanitary and uncomfortable situation, a number of bibs could be stored and new bibs given to players to wear whenever the team's player composition is changed. However, there is a problem of the cost of storing a large number of bibs. In addition, a large number of bibs must be washed after use, which is very time-consuming.

[0022] The present invention has been made in consideration of these points, and aims to provide bibs that allow multiple teams to be identified even when the team composition is changed while still being worn. [Means for solving the problem]

[0023] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a bib worn to identify each team in a team organization in which a group is divided into multiple teams, the bib having a first identification area displayed on a display surface on at least one of the front and back surfaces of the bib body, which displays first team organization team identification color information, which is color information identifying each team in a first team organization, which is one team organization in which the group is divided into multiple teams, and a second identification area displayed on the display surface, second team organization team identification color information, which is color information identifying each team in a second team organization, which is another team organization in which the group is divided into multiple teams different from the first team organization, and which is composed of multiple color information different from the first team organization team identification color information for one of the first team organization team identification color information.

[0024] As a result, in a first team organization, which is one team organization in which the group is divided into multiple teams, the first team organization team identification color information, which is color information for identifying each team, is displayed as a first identification area on a display surface provided on at least one of the front or back surfaces of the bib body, and in a second team organization, which is another team organization in which the group is divided into multiple teams different from the first team organization, the second team organization team identification color information, which is color information for identifying each team in the second team organization, is composed of multiple color information different from the first team organization team identification color information for one first team organization team identification color information, and is displayed as a second identification area on the display surface. Effect of the Invention

[0025] According to the bib of the present invention, in a first team formation, which is one team formation in which the group is divided into a plurality of teams, the first team formation team identification color information, which is color information for identifying each team, is displayed as a first identification area on a display surface provided on at least one of the front and back surfaces of the bib body, and in a second team formation, which is another team formation in which the group is divided into a plurality of teams different from the first team formation, the second team formation team identification color information, which is color information for identifying each team in the second team formation, is composed of a plurality of color information different from the first team formation team identification color information for one first team formation team identification color information, and is displayed as a second identification area on the display surface, so that it is possible to identify and separate a plurality of teams whose internal composition has been changed while still wearing the bib. This eliminates the time required to change bibs when changing teams, and can significantly improve practice time.

[0026] In addition, since the first team composition team identification color information is composed of a plurality of color information different from the first team composition team identification color information, the team composition can be changed instantly by simply specifying the first identification area or the second identification area. This makes it possible to frequently switch roles within a limited time or to quickly change the composition of the team. Furthermore, in addition to physical exercise, training to improve brain flexibility and processing speed is also possible. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0028] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First Embodiment Fig. 1 shows a front view and a back view of a bib according to a first embodiment.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 1, the bib 100 is worn by a certain group of players, such as soccer players or basketball players, for the purpose of distinguishing between the opposing team and their team. In addition, the bib 100 can also be worn to distinguish between individuals or teams in the event of a disaster.

[0030] The bib 100 in this embodiment is worn by a specific group of athletes or the like for the purpose of distinguishing between the opposing team and their team. The following will be explained using the above as an example.

[0031] The bib 100 is composed of a bib body 110 made of fabric such as a mesh material formed into a net shape, a thin cotton material, or a nonwoven fabric, with the front body, back body, neckline, and armholes sewn into a sleeveless shape.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the bib 100 is described as a collarless, sleeveless bib, but the design of the bib can be selected as appropriate. Specific examples of the shape of the bib 100 include a bib with a collar, a long-sleeved bib, and a short-sleeved bib.

[0033] The front and back of the bib body 110 are provided with a first identification area 120, a second identification area 130, and a third identification area 140 as display areas for identifying and displaying the opposing team and the team of the team.

[0034] The first identification area 120 is intended to distinguish the opposing team from the team ally by means of a different color pattern arranged in stripes across the entire front and back of the bib body 110 and to display this on the bib body 110.

[0035] Specifically, the first identification area 120 is constructed by coloring the entire front and back of the bib body 110 with black vertical stripes using ink. This forms a striped pattern in which the black ink colored areas and the base color of the bib body 110 are displayed alternately. This causes the base color of the bib body 110 to be displayed in the first identification area 120.

[0036] For example, if the base color of one bib body 110 is red, red and black vertical stripes are displayed. If the base color of the other bib body 110 is blue, blue and black vertical stripes are displayed. The blue team and the red team can be distinguished and displayed by the color information, which is the color displayed in this first identification area 120.

[0037] The second identification area 130 is provided on the bib body 110 in a shape different from that of the first identification area 120, and is intended to display the opposing team and the team on the bib body 110 in different colors.

[0038] Specifically, the second identification area 130 is formed by coloring the opposing team and friendly team facing each other in a horizontal band in the center part of the front and back of the bib main body 110 with ink of a distinguishable color.

[0039] For example, one bib body 110 has a second identification region 130 colored in a yellow stripe formed so as to overlap the first identification region 120. Another bib body 110 has a second identification region 130 colored in a green stripe formed so as to overlap the first identification region 120. The yellow team and the green team can be distinguished and displayed by the color information that is the color displayed in this second identification region 130.

[0040] The third identification area 140 is provided on the bib main body 110 in a shape different from the first identification area 120 and the second identification area 130, and is intended to display the opposing team and the friendly team in different colors on the bib main body 110.

[0041] Specifically, the third identification area 140 is formed by coloring a certain area in the center of the front and back of the bib body 110 with ink of a color that allows the opposing team to be distinguished from the team's own team.

[0042] For example, one bib body 110 has a third identification region 140 colored orange in a circular shape, overlapping the first identification region 120 and the second identification region 130. Another bib body 110 has a third identification region 140 colored pink in a circular shape, overlapping the first identification region 120 and the second identification region 130. The orange team and the pink team can be distinguished and displayed by the color information, which is the color displayed in this third identification region 140.

[0043] In this way, a bib 100 is formed with a combination pattern in which blue and red are displayed in the first identification region 120, yellow and green in the second identification region 130, and orange and pink in the third identification region 140.

[0044] In this way, by specifying the part of the identification area where the color is to be displayed and the color to be displayed in the identification area, the players can be identified into multiple teams while still wearing the bib 100. Note that specific display examples of the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 will be described in FIG. 2.

[0045] The bib 100 may also include a group common symbol display section 150. The group common symbol display section 150 may include a mark printed on the bib body 110, such as a symbol mark that is a common symbol of the group.

[0046] 1, the group common symbol display section 150 is printed in the center of the third identification area 140, but it can also be printed in other locations. By printing a common symbol mark used by the group in this group common symbol display section 150, a sense of unity can be created and solidarity can be improved.

[0047] In addition, the group-common symbol display section 150 may also be provided with a wearer identification symbol display section printed with advertising displays by sponsors, marks indicating the manufacturer or distributor of the bib 100, or numbering displays which are wearer identification symbols for identifying individual athletes wearing the bib.

[0048] 2A and 2B are front and rear views showing examples of coloring of the first, second, and third identification regions. As shown in Fig. 2A, the bib 100A has a first identification region 120LU colored blue as the first identification region 120 (for convenience of explanation, the diagonal line pattern part in the figure is assumed to be blue and Fig. 2 and subsequent figures are explained), a second identification region 130YL colored yellow as the second identification region 130 (for convenience of explanation, the polka dot pattern part in the figure is assumed to be yellow and Fig. 2 and subsequent figures are explained), and a third identification region 130OR colored orange as the third identification region 140 (for convenience of explanation, the gray part in the figure is assumed to be orange and Fig. 2 and subsequent figures are explained).

[0049] As shown in Figure 2(B), bib 100B has a first identification region 120RD colored red as the first identification region 120 (for convenience of explanation, the cross diagonal pattern part in the figure will be treated as red and Figures 2 and subsequent figures will be explained as follows), a second identification region 130GR colored green as the second identification region 130 (for convenience of explanation, the vertical line pattern part in the figure will be treated as green and Figures 2 and subsequent figures will be explained as follows), and a third identification region 130OR colored orange as the third identification region 140.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2(C), bib 100C has a first identification region 120LU colored blue as the first identification region 120 (for convenience of explanation, the diagonal line pattern part in the figure will be assumed to be blue and Figures 2 and subsequent figures will be explained), a second identification region 130GR colored green as the second identification region 130, and a third identification region 130PK colored pink as the third identification region 140 (for convenience of explanation, the horizontal line pattern part in the figure will be assumed to be pink and Figures 2 and subsequent figures will be explained).

[0051] 2(D), the bib 100D includes a first identification area 120RD colored red as the first identification area 120, a second identification area 130YL colored yellow as the second identification area 130, and a third identification area 130PK colored pink as the third identification area 140. Although the group common symbol display section 150 is omitted in FIG. 2, the group common symbol display section 150 can be printed in any position.

[0052] By producing the above four patterns of bibs 100 and having the players wear them, a group can be identified in the first identification area 120 by its team composition, divided into multiple teams, such as a blue team and a red team, in the second identification area 130 by its other team composition, divided into multiple teams, such as a green team and a yellow team, and in the third identification area 140 by its other team composition, divided into multiple teams, such as an orange team and a pink team.

[0053] In this way, by having players wear Bibs 100, the players can be identified as members of multiple teams while still wearing Bibs 100, without having to take off and put on the Bibs 100.

[0054] In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the team composition is identified by dividing the group into two teams, i.e., blue team and red team in first identification area 120, green team and yellow team in second identification area 130, and orange team and pink team in third identification area 140. However, by increasing the types of color information, which is the team composition identification information for identifying the teams, the group can be divided into multiple teams, such as three or four teams.

[0055] In addition, the first identification area 120 can be identified as a team composition in which the group is divided into two teams, the second identification area 130 can be identified as a team composition in which the group is divided into three teams, and the third identification area 140 can be identified as a team composition in which the group is divided into four teams.

[0056] Fig. 3 is a front view showing a state in which a player wears a bib colored in a combination of colors in multiple patterns. In Fig. 3, the following description will be given assuming that a player 200 (not shown) wears the bib 100 colored in the combination of colors in multiple patterns shown in Fig. 2.

[0057] Players 201, 203, 205, and 213 are wearing bibs 100A. Players 202, 204, 206, and 214 are wearing bibs 100B. Players 207, 209, 211, and 215 are wearing bibs 100C. Players 208, 210, 212, and 216 are wearing bibs 100D.

[0058] In this way, by having the players who make up a given group wear bibs 100A to 100D colored in a combination of colors in multiple patterns and specifying the body parts and colors, the players can be identified and divided into multiple teams while still wearing bibs 100, without having to take off or put on bibs 100. Specific examples of identification will be described in Figure 4 and subsequent figures.

[0059] 4A and 4B are diagrams showing an example in which players wearing bibs colored in a combination of multiple colors are divided into a blue team and a red team. As shown in Fig. 4A, players wearing bibs 100 having a first identification area 120LU colored blue as the first identification area 120 are identified as the blue team and gathered together.

[0060] In FIG. 4(B), players wearing bibs 100 having a first identification region 120RD colored red as the first identification region 120 are identified as the blue team and are gathered together.

[0061] 3 and 4, in FIG. 5, players 201, 203, 205, and 213 are wearing bibs 100A. Players 202, 204, 206, and 214 are wearing bibs 100B. Players 207, 209, 211, and 215 are wearing bibs 100C. Players 208, 210, 212, and 216 are wearing bibs 100D, and there is no change in the bibs 100 worn by each player.

[0062] As a specific example of use, during practice matches or training for team sports such as soccer or basketball, bibs 100 colored in a combination of multiple patterns are worn by players 200.

[0063] For example, by instructing the players, "The first round will be between the blue vertical stripes team and the red vertical stripes team," the players will be able to easily distinguish between the blue vertical stripes team and the red vertical stripes team and split into two teams, the blue team and the red team.

[0064] Even if the players 200 mix together during the game, as long as the players 200 are wearing the bibs 100, the team with blue vertical stripes and the team with red vertical stripes can be easily distinguished.

[0065] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example in which players wearing bibs colored in a combination of multiple colors are divided into a green team and a yellow team. As shown in Fig. 5(A), players wearing bibs 100 having a second identification area 130GR colored green as the second identification area 130 are identified as the green team and gathered together.

[0066] In FIG. 5B, the second discrimination region 130 is The players wearing bibs 100 with a second identification area 130RD colored yellow are identified as the yellow team.

[0067] As in the state shown in Fig. 3, in Fig. 4, players 201, 203, 205, and 213 are wearing bibs 100A. Players 202, 204, 206, and 214 are wearing bibs 100B. Players 207, 209, 211, and 215 are wearing bibs 100C. Players 208, 210, 212, and 216 are wearing bibs 100D, and there is no change in the bibs 100 worn by each player.

[0068] Following the training in Figure 4, for example, by instructing the players, "The second round will be between the green stripes and the yellow stripes," the players will be able to easily distinguish between the green stripes and the yellow stripes and split into two teams, the green team and the yellow team.

[0069] As with FIG. 4, in FIG. 5, even if players 200 mix together during the game, as long as players 200 are wearing bibs 100, the team with the green horizontal stripes can be easily distinguished from the team with the yellow horizontal stripes.

[0070] Comparing the composition of the blue team and the red team in Fig. 4 with the composition of the green team and the yellow team in Fig. 5, it can be seen that the players of each color team are different. Therefore, since the composition of the players in the team is different in the training between the red team and the blue team in the first round and the training between the green team and the yellow team in the second round, the player 200 can train with a team of a different composition while still wearing the bib 100.

[0071] For this reason, with conventional bibs, when changing players for each training session, players had to exchange their bibs, but with Bibs 100, this is not necessary. In other words, the time required to exchange bibs with conventional bibs can be used for other training sessions. This allows for a significant increase in training time.

[0072] In addition, with Bibs 100, there is no need to change Bibs 100 when changing players for each training session, so roles and team composition can be changed while players are still wearing the same Bibs 100.

[0073] Therefore, by simply specifying the color information, which is the color displayed in the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 of the bib 100, roles and responsibilities can be changed instantly and frequently, and team composition can be changed instantly.

[0074] In this way, by instantly changing roles and team composition with Bibs 100, the player 200 can instantly switch and recognize opponents and teammates in his brain, which can train the flexibility and processing speed of the brain. In other words, by having the player 200 wear Bibs 100 and instantly change roles and team composition during training, it is possible to train not only physical exercise but also brain training.

[0075] In addition, in order to identify roles and team composition in the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 of the bib 100, it is necessary to visually recognize the bib 100.

[0076] Therefore, for example, in a sport such as soccer where the ball is handled with the feet, the field of vision can be directed toward the body of the player 200 wearing the bib 100, rather than concentrating on the feet handling the ball. In other words, the player 200 can raise his / her head to ensure a clear field of vision, and this can also improve the ability to recognize the movements of surrounding players.

[0077] In addition, with conventional bibs, athletes had to take off the sweat-absorbing Bibs 100 after training and exchange them with other athletes, but with Bibs 100 this is not necessary. This means that athletes no longer have to feel uncomfortable wearing bibs that have absorbed other athletes' sweat, and they can play sports in comfort.

[0078] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example in which players wearing bibs colored in a combination of colors in multiple patterns are divided into an orange team and a pink team. As shown in Fig. 6, in Fig. 5(A), players wearing bibs 100 having a third identification area 140OR colored green as the third identification area 140 are identified as the orange team and gathered together.

[0079] In FIG. 6(B), players wearing bibs 100 having third identification areas 140PK colored pink as third identification areas 140 are identified as the pink team and are gathered together.

[0080] 3 to 5, in FIG. 6, players 201, 203, 205, and 213 are wearing bibs 100A. Players 202, 204, 206, and 214 are wearing bibs 100B. Players 207, 209, 211, and 215 are wearing bibs 100C. Players 208, 210, 212, and 216 are wearing bibs 100D, and there is no change in the bibs 100 worn by each player.

[0081] Following the training in Figure 5, for example, by instructing the players, "The third round will be a match between the orange circle team and the pink circle team," the players can easily distinguish between the orange circle team and the yellow and pink circle team, and can be divided into two teams, the orange team and the pink team.

[0082] As with Figures 4 and 5, in Figure 6, even if players 200 mix together during the game, the team with the orange circle can be easily distinguished from the team with the pink circle as long as the players 200 are wearing bibs 100.

[0083] Comparing the composition of the blue team and the red team in Fig. 4 with the composition of the green team and the yellow team in Fig. 5, and the composition of the orange team and the pink team in Fig. 6, it can be seen that the players of each color team are different. Therefore, since the composition of the players of the teams is different in the training with the red team and the blue team in the first round, the training with the green team and the yellow team in the second round, and the training with the orange team and the pink team in the third round, the players 200 can train with teams of different composition while still wearing the bibs 100.

[0084] For this reason, with conventional bibs, when changing players for each training session, players had to exchange their bibs, but with Bibs 100, this is not necessary. In other words, the time required to exchange bibs with conventional bibs can be used for other training sessions. This allows for a significant increase in training time.

[0085] In addition, with conventional bibs, athletes had to take off the sweat-absorbing Bibs 100 after training and exchange them with other athletes, but with Bibs 100 this is not necessary. This means that athletes no longer have to feel uncomfortable wearing bibs that have absorbed other athletes' sweat, and they can play sports in comfort.

[0086] Fig. 7 is a front view and a back view showing another coloring example of the first identification area, the second identification area, and the third identification area. In the example of Fig. 2, vertical black stripes are colored with ink over the entire front and back of the bib body 110, forming a striped pattern in which the black ink colored parts and the base color of the bib body 110 are displayed alternately, but in Fig. 7, vertical stripes of the color displayed in the first identification area 120 are colored with ink over the entire front and back of the bib body 110, which has a base color of white.

[0087] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7(E), bib 100E has a first identification region 120LU colored blue as the first identification region 120, a second identification region 130GR colored green as the second identification region 130, and a third identification region 130OR colored orange as the third identification region 140.

[0088] As shown in Figure 7 (F), bib 100F has a first identification region 120RD colored red as the first identification region 120, a second identification region 130YL colored yellow as the second identification region 130, and a third identification region 130OR colored orange as the third identification region 140.

[0089] As shown in Figure 7 (G), bib 100G has a first identification region 120LU colored blue as the first identification region 120, a second identification region 130YL colored yellow as the second identification region 130, and a third identification region 130PK colored pink as the third identification region 140.

[0090] 7(H), the bib 100H includes a first identification area 120RD colored red as the first identification area 120, a second identification area 130GR colored green as the second identification area 130, and a third identification area 130PK colored pink as the third identification area 140. Although the group common symbol display section 150 is omitted in FIG. 2, the group common symbol display section 150 can be printed in any position.

[0091] By producing the above four patterns of bibs 100 and having the players wear them, a group can be identified in the first identification area 120 by its team composition, divided into multiple teams, such as a blue team and a red team, in the second identification area 130 by its other team composition, divided into multiple teams, such as a green team and a yellow team, and in the third identification area 140 by its other team composition, divided into multiple teams, such as an orange team and a pink team.

[0092] In this way, by having players wear Bibs 100, the players can be identified as members of multiple teams while still wearing Bibs 100, without having to take off and put on the Bibs 100.

[0093] As described above, the first identification region 120, the second identification region 130, and the third identification region 140 are displayed in shapes and positions that allow them to be easily distinguished from one another, and in colors that allow the teams to be easily distinguished from one another.

[0094] Therefore, players 200 can be easily identified and divided into teams simply by selecting any identification area from the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 and specifying the color for team division from the selected identification area.

[0095] In this embodiment, the colors displayed in the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 are each two colors, but it is also possible to classify into three teams by displaying them in three colors.

[0096] Furthermore, the identification areas are not limited to first to third, such as first identification area 120, second identification area 130, and third identification area 140, and any quantity of indications can be formed on the bib main body 110 as long as they are of a shape and position that allows them to be easily distinguished from one another.

[0097] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The bib of this embodiment is almost the same as the first embodiment, except that the display form of the first identification area, the second identification area, and the third identification area is different. Therefore, the same components as those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0098] Fig. 8 is a front view and a back view showing a bib according to the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 8, the front and back of the bib body 110 are provided with a first identification area 120, a second identification area 130, and a third identification area 140 as identification areas for identifying and displaying the opposing team and the team of the team.

[0099] The first identification area 120 is a diagonal band-like pattern of different colors extending from the left armpit to the right hem of the front of the bib main body 110 and from the left armpit to the right hem of the back of the bib main body 110, and is used to distinguish between the opposing team and the friendly team and to display this on the bib main body 110.

[0100] Specifically, the first identification area 120 is configured by coloring a diagonal strip from the left armpit to the right hem of the front of the bib main body 110, and from the left armpit to the right hem of the back of the bib main body 110, with ink of a color that allows the opposing team and friendly team to be distinguished from each other.

[0101] For example, one bib body 110 has a first identification area 120PK colored in a pink stripe. Another bib body 110 has a first identification area 120OR colored in an orange stripe. Certain color information can be used to distinguish and display the pink team and the orange team.

[0102] The second identification area 130 is provided on the bib body 110 in a shape different from that of the first identification area 120, and is intended to display the opposing team and the team on the bib body 110 in different colors.

[0103] Specifically, the second identification area 130 is formed by coloring the opposing team and friendly team facing each other in a horizontal band in the center part of the front and back of the bib main body 110 with ink of a distinguishable color.

[0104] For example, in one bib body 110, a second identification region 130YL colored in a yellow strip is formed so as to overlap the first identification region 120. In addition, in another bib body 110, a second identification region 130GR colored in a green strip is formed so as to overlap the first identification region 120. The yellow team and the green team can be distinguished and displayed by the color information, which is the color displayed in this second identification region 130.

[0105] The third identification area 140 is a diagonal band-like pattern of different colors extending from the right armpit to the left hem of the front of the bib main body 110 and from the right armpit to the left hem of the back of the bib main body 110, and is used to distinguish between the opposing team and the friendly team and to display this on the bib main body 110.

[0106] Specifically, the first identification area 120 is configured by coloring a diagonal strip from the left armpit to the right hem of the front of the bib main body 110, and from the left armpit to the right hem of the back of the bib main body 110, with ink of a color that allows the opposing team and friendly team to be distinguished from each other.

[0107] For example, a first identification area 120BK colored in a black strip is formed on one bib body 110. A first identification area 120ORD colored in a red strip is formed on another bib body 110. The color information displayed in the first identification area 120 allows the black team and the red team to be identified and displayed.

[0108] In this way, a bib 100 is formed with a combination pattern in which pink and orange are displayed by the first identification region 120PK or the first identification region 120OR, which is the first identification region 120, yellow and green are displayed by the second identification region 130YL or the second identification region 130GR, which is the second identification region 130, and black and red are displayed by the third identification region 140BK or the third identification region 140RD, which is the third identification region 140.

[0109] This allows players to be identified to multiple teams while still wearing Bib 100 by specifying the part of the identification area where the color will be displayed and the color to be displayed in the identification area.

[0110] As described above, the first identification region 120, the second identification region 130, and the third identification region 140 are displayed in shapes and positions that allow them to be easily distinguished from one another, and in colors that allow the teams to be easily distinguished from one another.

[0111] Therefore, players 200 can be easily identified and divided into teams simply by selecting any identification area from the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 and specifying the color for team division from the selected identification area.

[0112] [Third embodiment] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The bib of this embodiment is almost the same as the first and second embodiments, except that the display forms of the first, second, and third identification regions are different. Therefore, the same components as those of the first and second embodiments are given the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0113] 9 is a front view and a back view showing a bib according to the third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9, the front and back of the bib body 110 are provided with a first identification area 120, a second identification area 130, and a third identification area 140 as identification areas for identifying and displaying the opposing team and the team of the team.

[0114] The first identification area 120 is provided near the left underarm of the front of the bib main body 110 and near the right underarm of the back of the bib main body 110, and is intended to distinguish between the opposing team and the friendly team and to display this on the bib main body 110.

[0115] Specifically, the first identification area 120 is formed in a rectangular shape near the left underarm of the front of the bib main body 110 and near the right underarm of the back of the bib main body 110, and is colored with ink in a color that allows the opposing team and the friendly team to be distinguished from each other.

[0116] For example, a first identification area 120BK colored black in a rectangular shape is formed on one bib body 110. A first identification area 120RD colored red in a strip shape is formed on another bib body 110. The color information, which is the color displayed in this first identification area 120, allows the black team and the red team to be distinguished and displayed.

[0117] The second identification area 130 is provided on the bib body 110 in a shape different from that of the first identification area 120, and is intended to display the opposing team and the team on the bib body 110 in different colors.

[0118] Specifically, the second identification area 130 is provided in a triangular shape in the center of the front and back of the bib body 110 and is configured by coloring the opposing team and the friendly team with ink in a distinguishable color.

[0119] For example, in one bib body 110, a second identification area 130YL colored in yellow in a triangular shape is formed in the center of the front and back of the bib body 110. In addition, in another bib body 110, a second identification area 130GR colored in green in a triangular shape is formed in the center of the front and back of the bib body 110. The yellow team and the green team can be distinguished and displayed by the color information that is the color displayed in this second identification area 130.

[0120] The third identification area 140 is provided near the right underarm of the front of the bib main body 110 and near the left underarm of the back of the bib main body 110, and is intended to distinguish between the opposing team and the friendly team and to display this on the bib main body 110.

[0121] Specifically, the third identification area 140 is provided in a circular shape near the right underarm of the front of the bib main body 110 and near the left underarm of the back of the bib main body 110, and is configured by coloring it with ink in a color that allows the opposing team and the friendly team to be distinguished from each other.

[0122] For example, a third identification area 140PK colored pink in a circular shape is formed on one bib body 110. A third identification area 140OR colored orange in a strip shape is formed on another bib body 110. The color information, which is the color displayed in this third identification area 140, allows the pink team and the orange team to be distinguished from each other.

[0123] In this way, a bib 100 is formed with a combination pattern in which black and red are displayed by the first identification region 120BK or the first identification region 120RD, which is the first identification region 120, yellow and green are displayed by the second identification region 130YL or the second identification region 130GR, which is the second identification region 130, and pink and orange are displayed by the third identification region 140PK or the third identification region 140OR, which is the third identification region 140.

[0124] This allows players to be identified to multiple teams while still wearing Bib 100 by specifying the part of the identification area where the color will be displayed and the color to be displayed in the identification area.

[0125] As described above, the first identification region 120, the second identification region 130, and the third identification region 140 are displayed in shapes and positions that allow them to be easily distinguished from one another, and in colors that allow the teams to be easily distinguished from one another.

[0126] Therefore, players 200 can be easily identified and divided into teams simply by selecting any identification area from the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 and specifying the color for team division from the selected identification area.

[0127] In the first to third embodiments, examples have been described in which the first identification region 120, the second identification region 130, and the third identification region 140 are colored in the bib main body 110, but a bendable electronic display means such as an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display can be embedded in the bib main body 110.

[0128] This allows the electronic display means embedded in the bib main body 110 to electronically display the display areas of the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 in shapes and positions that allow the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 to be easily distinguished from one another, and in colors that allow the teams to be distinguished from one another.

[0129] In the first to third embodiments, the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 are described as being colored on the bib main body 110, but they can also be identified not only by color information, which is color, but also by pattern information displayed in each identification area, such as a diagonal line pattern, a cross diagonal line pattern, or a polka dot pattern.

[0130] In this manner, without using color, even if a player 200 with color vision impairment is included in a given team, the team can be identified by the pattern information displayed in each identification area, just like the other players 200.

[0131] In addition, in the first to third embodiments, an example has been described in which teams are identified by selecting an arbitrary identification area from the first identification area 120, the second identification area 130, and the third identification area 140 and specifying a color for team division from the selected identification area. However, by combining color information, which is team composition identification information displayed in an identification area other than the selected identification area, in addition to the team identified by the selected identification area, the identified team can be further subdivided.

[0132] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4(A), players wearing bibs 100 with first identification region 120LU colored blue as first identification region 120 are identified as the blue team and gathered together. Also, in Fig. 4(B), players wearing bibs 100 with first identification region 120RD colored red as first identification region 120 are identified as the blue team and gathered together.

[0133] Here, for example, suppose the players are split into the blue team in Figure 4(A) and the red team in Figure 4(B), and each team has a ball and practices passing the ball around within their own team.

[0134] By instructing players on the blue team to wear bibs 100 having a first identification area 120LU colored blue as the first identification area 120, and players 200 having a second identification area 130GR colored green in an identification area different from the first identification area 120, for example, in a second identification area 130, to handle the ball only with their left foot, and players 200 having a second identification area 130YR colored yellow to handle the ball only with their right foot, the diversity of practice and games can be increased.

[0135] In addition, by instructing players on the red team to wear bibs 100 having a first identification region 120RD colored red as the first identification region 120, players 200 having a third identification region 140OR colored orange in a third identification region 140 different from the first identification region 120 to kick the ball with their feet, and players 200 having a third identification region 130PK colored pink to throw the ball with their hands, it is possible to expand the diversity of practice and games and develop new ways of playing.

[0136] As described above, by combining the team identified by the selected identification area with color information, which is team composition identification information displayed in an identification area other than the selected identification area, the identified team can be further subdivided, and not only can the team be identified by the first identification area 120, but the actions, movements, etc. of the players 200 in the team can be associated and identified by the second identification area 130 or the third identification area 140.
