That’s GAY. flame away

Lauren ought to be ashamed of himself.

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

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):

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.

[FatherofFive]

I sorta like them.

And I'm married with 5 children.

[nomad]

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

[EinNYC]

Yep, the uniforms look VERY "Ralph Lauren". They reek of his style. But, things could be worse. The uniforms could look like this:

[Red Boots]

I like them - sort of a patchworky theme. Patchwork is culturally very much a part of Americana, implying thriftiness, creativity and homemaking; not bad values IMO.

That said, a big ZERO for the polo logo in the middle of the sweater. It’s tacky!

Sweater picture - I didn’t realize that polo could be played while riding a moose. That must be because it’s a winter Olympics sport. :=)

[OldNewYork]

Vile.

When I first looked at this, I thought the RL was for Right Leg, to help them put on the pants correctly.

[Chuckster]

I rather like the P Coat but Grandma’s Christmas Sweater has to go.

[all the best]

Love ‘em.

[Bon of Babble]

I can use one of those sweaters for the Ugly Christmas Contest next year!!

That top one is a SURE WINNER.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Surely, you’re joking? Wool peacoats, knit patchwork cardigans, fleece pants, and black leather skinhead boots are hip-hop?

If they were wearing hoodies, low-slung pants revealing their underwear, unlaced sneakers, and lots of gold bling, you might have a point, but they aren’t.

[Iscool]

Could be the RL stands for right leg, to avoid any confusion...

[longtermmemmory]

The junk ralp lauren puts on olympic uniforms is why I do not purchase his products.

I see those ridiculout large polo pony shirts and laught AT the person wearing it.
