Team USA's Winter Olympic uniforms are hideous
 
Remember a couple years ago when people got pissed off that the olympic uniforms were made in China, and we were promised that would never happen again?

I think they should give the Chinese workers another call, because we apparently can't handle this sort of thing.

Nobody in like their normal lives would wear them but as something special and different I think they look fine. Might as well have fun with all of it. They come off better in the renderings though.

alnorth 01-23-2014 11:03 AM
It looks like it was designed by a committee who came up with 6 different patriotic themes, and instead of picking one and going with it, they threw all 6 of them onto the uniform. It looks like a crazy quilt.

DMAC 01-23-2014 11:03 AM
I love it. Looks like grandma made em.

Cannibal 01-23-2014 11:03 AM

The theme seems to be pretty focused on "United States" and "The Olympics"

Did we lose a bet?

POND_OF_RED 01-23-2014 11:09 AM

I think they look fine. Will be easy to spot when our troops have to go in and rescue them.

Is this one of those old Magic Eye pictures? If I stare at this enough will I see a pony?

TEX 01-23-2014 12:28 PM
One would think at SOME point someone had to speak up and say how awful they were. No way that doesn't happen with something this bad. These things are beyond atrocious. :shake:

Focused would be a flag and some rings.

This is a dizzying crazy quilt, about 6 different ideas sewn together.

alpha_omega 01-23-2014 12:37 PM
Meh...i would expect better from Ralph Lauren.

Are they actually made in America i wonder?

Demonpenz 01-23-2014 01:06 PM
It was designed for young people. Not frumpy old guys who are complaining their 401k went down.

I remember that was a big scandal at the last Olympics when it turned out it was all made abroad...China IIRC

Katipan 01-23-2014 01:25 PM
I like these hats better than the salt lake berets.

J Diddy 01-23-2014 01:26 PM
It looks like every outfit made by Tommy Hilfiger in the 1990's.

Yep, a really bad Christmas sweater was the first thing that came to mind.

They're ugly but does anyone ever buy USA Olympic gear? It always looks tacky.

Kman34 01-23-2014 02:05 PM
The pants look like an old white pair of sweat pants I had in Jr High

Pablo 01-23-2014 02:06 PM

Precisely. I was shocked it took 27 posts to make this point. I don't hate it but I'm not running out to buy my very own replica. I do dig the boots. Very much. I want those boots.

Probably not. But they were designed for "young people" (the Olympic athletes).

Who's the girl wearing it and what event does she do? I'll tune in just for her.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they had some aspirations that the merchandise could be successfully marketed outside of the Olympics, as well.

Maybe hipsters will find the over-the-top patriotism to be ironic or something.

The woman in the concept drawing has very skinny legs.

Easy 6 01-23-2014 05:58 PM
Didnt really look at them at first, but Phobia is right... those are some kick ass boots.
