One thing about this year’s Olympic uniforms is their resemblance to the uniforms the Chinese teams wore at the 1984 Olympics. I saw video of their march-in, on an NBC show about the politics of the Olympics. The point was that because the Chinese showed up in LA after the USSR decided to boycott, they effectively kept the Olympices from becoming a totally political east/west divided event, which would have really killed the whole concept of Olympics.
I wonder if the Ralph Lauren team knew about the 1984 uniforms?
I don’t know anything about the 84 Chinese uniforms, but I do know that this nautical rendition is pure Lauren. The polo ponies should not have been so obvious, however, on the shirts.
