Olympic Uniforms Revealed

[Tricia]

Instead of this being about the US Olympic Uniforms as it usually starts, I figured we'd leave it open to see all Uniforms as they are revealed.

 

[Tricia]

US Uniforms.

Aerials

Freeski

Moguls

Alpine

I like them all , but the Alpine ones!
I remember in a past edition, the Albertville one, I think, the Spyder uniform was mostly white and sporting on the back an embroidered American Eagle with spread wings. I found it so excessive that was beautiful. I found it at my village shop and almost bought it, but for the excessive price tag...

I'm surprised the mogul pants don't have knee patches so the judges can see the knees together (or apart) more easily. Any way you slice it, they're all better than the ones from Ralph Lauren or whoever.

Nice looking unis.
Have never understood white pants for a judged competitive skiing event. Judges seeing what your legs are doing, in the snow, is pretty important; why camouflage it?
Are onesies back? I missed the memo.

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought as well: mogul pants always have a band of color on the knees so they pop. This is especially important on those Spyder ones because they're off-white.

+1 on the mogul pants. You will see blue or red knee pads added for sure. I do like the pullover top for that old school Mother Karen's or CB vibe..

I really like the new Team Canada uniforms from Lululemon

France and Le Coq Sportif are going for big color blocks, which I like a lot: https://www.lecoqsportif.com/collection/equipe-france-olympique-et-paralympique.html

I assume alpine and snowcross racers will have slight variations on their usual outfits, which are made by the Italian company Colmar.

Hah. That sure looks like they're using the old, pre-Macron EU-compatible blue!

I read somewhere else that the last uniforms were similar and then had the ability for the athlete/coaches to put the patches precisely where it would benefit them most. It makes sense since athletes leg lengths are different. I have short legs so if I put on a standard mogul pant the patches would probably be somewhere over my shins.

I think they should have plastered roosters (coq = rooster) all over the outfits — maybe they thought it'd look like ads for Rossignol!

Not quite green and gold, but the Australian ones are really nice looking


Putting the names of all the Aussie winter olympians in the lining - rock star move!

 

[James]

What is that symbol on the sleeves?

I think it's supposed to be a star.

I think the alpine uniform would work better for moguls. I'm not really liking any of them but WTF do I know about fashion?

Well they’re at least not excessively cheesey. The bar has been so low over the years, but they’ve at least cleared it. The aerials look like circus performers, not the worst, alpine eh not the worst, and the symbol is some universal Gumby thing I guess.

Lot of controversy over the hockey jerseys...many unhappy people..

Big? In more than one way. The 'prat' is unvoiced.
