I notice Lauren has his ‘Polo’ logo on them. Fed up with all these ‘ME’ people. I would like to bring back the cowboy hats or baseball caps. Uniquely AMERICAN!

The suits are nice. I like the formality. The hats are not American, however, and the RL logo is too big.

Ugly, doesn’t identify with American dress, and if the blue were lightened up considerably, would be perfect for the U.N. I guess it’s better than if we dressed them to look like an Obama son if he had one.

Dont ya love it when Dems express phony outrage. Ralph Lauren has given craploads of money to Obama and the Democrat Party..I wonder how he feels knowing the Rats have thrown him overboard..and how about the stimulus money, how much of that money was given to Finland, Canada, China, and God knows where else..Dems had no issue with that..and yeah those outfits are FUGLY by the way!

Why isn’t the girl double breasted? Seems like it would be a natural thing for females to wear.

Olympic uniforms all throughout the history of the Games have always tended to be on the tacky side, not just the US.

I agree but also I don’t really like the polo logo on it why USA or the Olympics logo. They do not look very comfortable either.

Gay, as in rabidly homosexual. WTF on the hats, over?

Par for the course.

About is a bunch of pictures from several years. You would think that they would give up on the hats.
