Title: A PIECE OF SPORTS AND LEISURE CLOTHING, HAVING A GEOMETRIC PATTERN THEREON
Abstract: The present invention relates: to a piece of sports and leisure clothing (10), having a geometric pattern (20) thereon, wherein the geometric pattern comprises at least one base item (30) having a base boundary (32) that forms the contour of the base item, a surrounding area (40) that encompasses the base item, wherein the surrounding area is divided into a plurality of subareas (42), and a plurality of images (50), wherein within each subarea of the plurality of subareas at least one image of the plurality of images is disposed, such that the base boundary is visually defined by the plurality of images. The present invention further relates to a piece of sports and leisure clothing, having a geometric pattern thereon, wherein the geometric pattern comprises a base item having a base boundary, an area, wherein the area is encompassed by the base boundary, and wherein the area is divided into a plurality of subareas, a plurality of images, wherein within each subarea of the plurality of subareas one image of the plurality of images is disposed, such that the base boundary is visually defined by the plurality of images.
