It is my personal belief that it is the very least we can do to support American businesses for the Olympics!

I have to agree. This should not have even been anything that they had to think about. I would have thought RL could have done better for us. We look like reject French flight attendants

To me they have that flight-attendant look to them, which btw is a great look... if you're a flight attendant!!

I think the uniforms are all too stiff for my liking. And yes, the skirts are pathetic!!

They're athletes for gripes sake. They can go out in their uniforms and warm-up suits. This should not be a freakin' fashion show and waste of money IMO... ugh!!

This whole thing would not even be an issue were it not an election year; the olympic uniforms are always ugly, and gender biased, and made in a foreign country, been that way for years.

i agree as well.

The other day i made it a mission to look at items around the farm, and see where they were made. About 90% said MADE IN CHINA.

i'm in Canada, but i believe it to be the same as the states, and just feel like it's hypocritical to demand made in the USA for the Olympics when we outsource just about everything on a daily basis. The made in China uniforms were a better example of how things really are in the states, but i get that this is the almighty Olympics and we better represent ourselves well.

i would still love to know how much it cost to have the whole uniform process redone and how many starving children could have been fed with that money.
