Have You Seen the Tacky Hip-Hop Uniforms Team USA has been Saddled with at Sochi 2014?

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.

Lauren ought to be ashamed of himself.


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

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

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.

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

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