The central mannequin dons a hooded sweatshirt with abstract prints and matching jogger pants, embellished with stripes, reflecting a sporty and modern aesthetic. To the left, another mannequin features a black cropped jacket with a zipper and Adidas branding, possibly worn over a casual top. On the right, an ensemble consisting of a cropped olive green jacket layered over a white or light-colored top is displayed. The mannequins stand in front of a blue-toned, digital-like background that prominently features the phrase 'CHANGE IS A TEAM SPORT' in bold, eye-catching text.
