I read this today while eating my lunch and nearly saw said lunch again. The US Olympic committee decided to have Ralph Lauren design the uniforms for the upcoming festivities. The designs were then manufactured in China. Approximately $2000 for the men's uniform and $1500 for the womens uniform. The worst part is that these uniforms look like they were pulled out of a JC Penny catalog from the late 70s. And berets, not really seen as iconic American headgear. I guess cowboy or baseball hats don't really go with the Captain and Tennille's heyday styling. Really, $2K each and this is the best that they could come up with?
Someone at the USOC should be doing some soul searching right now, not acting arrogant about their "proud partnership with an American company." Unfortunately, there is no accounting for some people's children.
