Teddy KGB Adidas Track Suit (2 Viewers)

Ok, so was today years old when a buddy told me his top is actually red/white (Soviet Union olympic uniform colors), not red/yellow and only looks yellow because of the bad lighting in the poker room. After protesting loudly, I went back and watched a montage of him from the film and, after watching multiple scenes, it really looks like that top really is red/white.
As a union camera assistant in the industry, I would disagree with your buddy. It's possible to shift a white to a yellow, but if you look at the cards and his shirt, which are both white as well, and aren't shifted in similar ways. They shot this on 35mm film using a tungsten balanced stock for this scene and would use tungsten lighting to achieve a natural skin tone which would also keep the lines on the suite very close to their original colour. It's possible coloured lighting could shift the lines a bit yellowish, but it would also be prevalent on his face and cards as well and likely would appear less saturated.

I'm not convinced.

His shirt would be yellow too if it was the lighting. Also I want to believe it's white so I won't have to pull the trigger on this

I know, I know, have that pic too and want to believe it is yellow but check out the montage especially under different lighting than that frame at or around 1:58, 3:44, 5:50 and 6:57 and tell me what you think

Haha I think it’s yellow but @ those time stamps I see what you are referring to…

Yeah I can see at those timestamps it looks white. The zipper very welll could be white and slightly shifted, but the sleeves are yellow as there is more saturation in them. Looks like that video got pretty destroyed by compression though which can affect the way colors look.
 
So, I'm consulting a textile expert to have one custom made as this apparently can not be found anywhere. I have searched and searched and I know many others have as well.

Obviously the more made the lower the price; my question is how much is anyone willing to pay for one? $200? $100?
Ok, seriously though, would $65 or thereabout be reasonable? I have no idea at this point what the price per unit would be for 200 vs 500 pieces but I'm working on this right now.

What I'm thinking is 90 - 100% polyester, 80's style.
Red with 2 yellow stripes.
Can anyone else add details? I mean like will yellow zipper vs white zipper make any difference to anyone interested in purchasing?

Adidas made one a few years ago and a few of us grabbed them.

Someone was even able to find his undershirt which is what we really need! The button up collared shirt.
