1. They look very French to me

with the tri-color stripes, and then the combination of beret w/double breasted blazer? Strange.

10. No......please don't say that.....you're right in with faux this morning saying that......Ugh.

15. Well, I'm fond of the French myself

...I just think its a strange choice overall for a US athletic team.

2. 'Muricans don't wear berets. They wear baseball caps.

Actually, they look like shower caps.

6. These Americans do.

11. I was in the Army and I am glad I didn't have to wear that kind of head gear.

It looks limp.

[WillyT]

12. Yep... The Green Berets...

[texanwitch]

13. It should really stand for something, really earned.

That is right.

The Green Berets earned the right to wear it.

It doesn't mean so much when everyone wears it.

[texanwitch]

7. Damn right.

Real hats of some kind would have been better.

Baseball caps would have looked better.

3. I think the uniforms are VERY unattractive and make the athletes look stiff.........

But the other uniforms that the US athletes will compete in look comfortable and sharp.......... and they make the athletes look very much like they work for the US Post Office. And that should not be read as an insult to US Postal workers.

4. There is something wrong with the jackets.

They are to short or something.

The head gear looks stupid.

14. The photographer cut off the bottom part of the legs.

Their actual legs go further down than the picture shows, I think.

[KoKo]

17. Yes...Quite So...but the Upper...says it all..

just saying...

[texanwitch]

18. The woman's jacket looks OK.

The men's jackets are shaped different, square at the bottom.

The men's jacket doesn't cover their rear ends.

5. Looks like the navy's 5th tactical yachting division.

Defending our nation's regattas!

8. yah, and heard through "twitter" that Ralph said it was frivolous for anyone to worry about where

the uniforms were made. Screw him.....and I"M pissed too about the uniforms being made in China. D*mn. JMHO.

[spanone]

9. should be a us flag instead of the ralph lauren logo..imho

[Zax2me]

16. Outsourcing?! U.S. Olympic team's China-made uniforms become political fodder

Who did this?

19. I don't know which bothers me more...the polo logo or the made in China tag.

Both are way wrong for US Olympic clothing...

[Joe Shlabotnik]

20. I'm by no means some sort of fashionista but

At a glance they are ridiculous looking. The mens outfits look very metro-sexual, and the woman looks like a stewardess. The coats and berets look too tight and conservative and the polo logo is way too elitist. Maybe its just the photo, but I not seeing athleticism or competitiveness showcased, more like the style of conformity evident on 1930's fascist print propaganda. The whole 'look' looks pretentious. (Though something I'd expect from Ralph Lauren) JMHO
