retro USA Olympic gear

Too little, too late are complaints about the American Olympic uniforms. The Team is already in London.

Marketing guru Michael Jacki is appalled.

Yet these outfits are so wacky, that I can’t help but like them. :)

Shouldn’t this be the French team? Rick have you shown the Canadian uniform? It looks like something they picked up at Zeller’s. Ugh.

Lawn tennis, anyone?

I don’t think I’ve seen the CDN uniforms yet.

Do you have a link?

Ralph Lauren rips everything off from JC Leyendecker the famous illustrator who immortalized the athlete/scholar as much as Haddon Sunbloom did for the image of Santa Claus.

J.C. Leyendecker…pure genius of design.

Michael Jacki says the uniforms don’t work because that’s not what the kids wear? So, he’d prefer hoodies, sagging jeans and baseball hats on sideways?
