The new US national Olympic teams opening ceremony uniform design raised quite a few eyebrows around the world because some of its components bear a striking resemblance to the Russian flag.
On July 29 Ralph Lauren and the United States Olympic Committee proudly unveiled the design of the US teams 2016 Opening Ceremony uniforms.
But while many people rushed to praise the stylish look of the new garments, others were quick to point out one very strange detail the fact that the color pattern of athletes striped T-shirts sticking out of their buttoned-up blazers clearly resembles the Russian national flag.
And while the color sets of the two countries flags are quite similar, the way the stripes on the US athletes outfits are aligned exactly like the white, blue and red bars on the Russian flag it looks either like a very strange coincidence or a rather embarrassing accident. Who knows, maybe Russias next Olympic outfit will be featuring stars and stripes!

Is Harvey Milk’s name on the uniforms?

I’d like to give Chris Sale ten minutes alone with these uniforms.

It’s not hard to make a uniform that is unmistakably USA.
This designer went out of their way to strip the national pride out of the uniform.
And what is that on his left, a prison dress?

what’s with the queer, metrosexual SHORT pants and tiny “cute” cuffs?
What they need to wear socks - rather than sweaty leather-on-bare-feet three-toned wimpy lace-ups?

Thanks to Putin’s incompetence, many Russian athletes are banned from the Olympics. I had thought that just about any leader could handle fielding an Olympic team. Putin can’t even do that right.
