Ralph Lauren unveils Team USA Olympic uniforms

This says everything you need to know about the three things in the headline. RL, America, and the olympics. What a load of shoe makers.

Skateboarding at the Olympics. I can only assume they'll be adding videogame competitions for 2024.

They look like extras from some 80s scifi movie.

They'll do well as memorabilia since there isn't going to be an Olympics in Tokyo this year.

Once again, Japanese media here has suppressed Team America’s leading contender for Karate, *Hawaiian born **Sakura Kokumai, **to the background.-***

A little too NASA for my tastes; the pants are especially awful.

Waste of money!

The 28year old, 5 foot, Hawaiian born, ‘self-coached’, 2019 PanAmerican Games GOLD medal-winning karateka is alumni of both Doshisha AND Waseda Universities. Sakura Kokumai is personable, outgoing and well spoken. She gave up her international business career in Tokyo to return to the U.S. and train for the 2020 Gold. Presently, she has no job, no car and has been surviving on a diet of ‘rice’ while fully focused on training. Last year, Panasonic valiantly stepped up to sponsor her. (Thanks, Panasonic.)

So, it’s truly disappointing IF she’s not given the chance to compete because of Japan’s poor handling of the pandemic. This is ‘the sport’s Last chance’ as France’s 2024 Olympics games will no longer honor the ‘traditional’ sport.

Hideous - particularly the belt.

Anti-viral cotton or polyester would be useful!

Love the more environmentally friendly processes, but the overall look of them is quite... yawn. Predicted. Mundane.

so does that mean their uniforms won't be plastered with the names of their sponsors?
