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!

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!

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

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.

These do NOT look like American Athletes in these ugly looking outfits. They are dressed like the group that leads the athletes into the opening ceremonies. Our athletes ALWAYS come on the scene looking like young, fresh, excited and PROUD Americans getting the crowd all gined up and screaming and hollering for our team. They will NOT get the loud applause they normally get. This is disgraceful and I for one am getting damn sick and tired of everone trying to change this great country and it’s traditions.
Our kids deserve to look youthful as they ARE youthful. What’s with this next time the uniforms will be made in America. They should be REMADE in America NOW.

In these tough economic times, the USOC should have gone generic instead of designer. The uniforms would still have been made in China for the same quality at a mere fraction of the cost.
The USOC paid obscene amounts of money to promote the RL label.

Eh, it’s not *that* bad. The hat’s gotta go, for sure, and the female uniform makes her look 12; hers should be less juvenile: double-breast jacket like the men, not worn partially open, and with a smaller and more tidy-looking ascot. Maybe lengthen the skirt 3-4 inches. Give the men a hat that’s a take on the old “garrison cap” from the army, but worn at an angle. Let the women keep the beret.
