Is it just me, or is there a lack of Red, White, and Blue in the olympic uniforms? I saw the swimmers and gymnastic athletes getting their medals wearing a funny space suit that reminded me of a rain suit. It was gray and black. I see tons of black. I actually watched one sport for 10-15 minutes voting for the wrong team before I realized which team we were.

I've had trouble deciding which team we are also in a few events -
Yeah, we were sorely disappointed with the USA uniforms. Everyone else had their country's colors, why not us?
Japan's uniforms were really cool!Comment

it's a controversy every four years. some designer or sports company has to make a statement with the unis so they have to be avant garde and cool, etc.
I'd love to sit in on those meetings.
"How about we go with, um, you know, red, white and blue?"
"What?! Are you crazy? That's so outdated."
sigh...Comment

Yes I have been very disappointed in general with our uniforms from the Opening Ceremony to the Medal Ceremonies. I will say that some of the teams I have watched were in Red and Blue at least, volleyball (beach and indoor), table tennis, etc.
That is certainly true of the hideous outfits that had on at the Opening Ceremony and I wouldn't be surprised if it were true of the rest of their uniforms.Originally posted by camo_cowboy55 View PostComment

Nike made them grey so the athletes would "shine" on the medal stand. I like navy in an athletic uniform as much as anybody, but navy to me is not one of our colors.
Yahoo Sports Article about it
Nike picked the color because the company says it glows on the medal stand and lets the audience see just how bright America's athletes can shine. The jacket is "finished off with a hyper reflective shell that burns bright under the most subtle lights."Comment

Lots of countries uniforms were made in china. More than just the us and china. How does it even matter?
If a company can make a good quality product at a reasonable price, country of origin is not worth worrying about. Yes, even for our national Olympic uniforms.Comment

They are different in every sport. Swimming is one color, track is one color, gymnastics, etc...Comment

I want to see the American Flag incorporated into the next uniforms.Comment

""""How Does It Matter"""With the economy in the tank and jobless rates at an all time high and controversy raging about Outsourcing of jobs.......IT DOES MATTER.....we should keep all the jobs we can here in the United States....why support a foreign country ???.... But we sure should look into the comittee that chose the colors....those are the ugliest color combinations I've seen...to say nothing about the shoe colors...lime green flourescent....or whatever it is called has to be one of the ugliest things I've seen...Originally posted by bowhuntntxn View PostComment
