In a time when most US flags and even US passports are made in China, it's purely grandstanding for any politician to start screeching about the sourcing of 2012 Olympic uniforms.

Where were these @holes when the domestic textile and apparel manufacturing industries were being utterly decimated due to their own efforts? Swapping votes for cover, pulling any subterfuge, Democrat or Republican, to pull it off, whether it was Most Favored Nation status for China, NAFTA, CAFTA, on and on.

What a bunch of craven posers.

There’s not a thing wrong with the design of them, either. It's classic and restrained. It's navy blue and white with red accents, if that is some sort of problem then quite a few military dress uniforms are as well.

The Polo Pony is large, yes. However, if you've been in any department store in the past several years, you might have noticed that that logo is popular much larger than that. You want Ralph Lauren to design these uniforms, then be willing to follow form with current Ralph Lauren design cues and branding. Why would you want to hide it? It's a quintessentially American brand.

This is grandstanding for a highly contentious, politically charged election year, purely and simply. Outsourcing is being tailored into a Democrat issue, as if they weren't going right along with it and even leading the way in many instances.

The uniforms look fine. They will represent our country well in the Olympics. Do I hate that they were made in China? Yes. It's reality, though, a political reality brought about by the same dimwits and money-grubbers who are fanning the flames now. Want to be angry about it? Be angry at the politicians, not Ralph Lauren.
