Crowning achievement in Obama's comprehensive 

international humiliation of the United States is here-

good reason not to smile

Designed by Ralph Lauren, the opening-cermony uniforms released today are garish, undignified, and downright embarrassing-
or am I silly for somehow expecting them expecting to look like impressive grown-ups?

To top it off, he's got 'RL' on every single item,

and the sweater says 'Polo' rather than 'USA'...

Don't forget the goofy hat...

The design is not hip-hop, it is hipster.

[morphing libertarian]

I was going to say..gay, but gays have more style.

That’s GAY. flame away

I was referring to the jacket’s patchwork print look, that hat , pants, and stupid boots are ‘hipster’ imho

[tomkat]

Lauren ought to be ashamed of himself.

(but perhaps that word's been expunged from the OED in today's brave new CF)

[Theoria]

Yes, nor for advertising purposes. How many times do we see politicians using the colors of the flag and such for campaigns etc.

It could be worse: 12 Ridiculous Olympic Team Outfits Throughout History (http://www.buzzfeed.com/jtes/12-ridiculous-olympic-team-outfits-throughout-hist)

Or, they could be really bad (Norway's Curling Team):

The sweat pants in the socks with the, god I don’t know whats on their feet look isn’t cutting it. Looks like an outfit someone would wear, while sitting in front of a fireplace, drinking a hot chocolate and discussing Obamacare.

I have just written the U.S. Olympics Committee about how embarrassed I am by the hip-hop gangsta uniforms created for our Olympic team. I have also asked if they're going to be issuing a Saturday Night Special to each athlete.

And I especially noted Ralph Lauren's contribution.

It is categorically inappropriate for a standard uniform that is to be worn by athletes representing the United States to promote the brand name of a commercial business. To make it even worse, the brand is very large and prominently displayed. In the pullover sweater it is the focal point of the design.

Maybe there’s a target on the back

metrosexuals

[MWestMom]

Nothing like making them big ole targets for the 72 virgin wannabes and angry widows. Good grief.

[FatherofFive]

I sorta like them.

And I'm married with 5 children.

That sweater has got to be a prime contestant for an “ugliest sweater” contest/party.
