Ugg on the hockey. And I've never liked lululemon. I really liked the Roots stuff years ago.
It looks like a rocket? Or maybe a ski manufacturer logo.
More on the Alpine
Special back zipper for some reason.

Spelling out "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" in it's entirety is clunky and looks bad. I'm not exactly a graphic designer but I thought that was a pretty basic rule. And the, I assume, star symbol that's plastered all over everything looks childish. Not fan of these.
Exactly. And telling Asians it's not related to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/大 will be about as ridiculous as telling teenagers 80085 does not spell boobs in calculator font.

The zipper is there to allow more layering under the coat without it bursting at the seams. It's an interesting feature, not sure how well it'll work in day-to-day use.
I'm a bit "meh" on the "Sharpie font" lettering and such on the Team USA uniforms this time around.
Um Yeah that is not the Hockey Canada logo or the Canadian Maple leaf. To be quite frank that jersey sucks.
Actually that looks an awful lot like the logo for the Vancouver Winter Olympics
Not identical but pretty close.
I won’t hold back.
I HATE them. The alpine are the ones I really care about. They look horrendous.
Not too good.
Of course, neither is our team….excluding MS, we hope!

What an embarrassment.
Methinks it would be easier to encourage donations if they didn't dress up our athletes with a font that looks like a New York City subway car.
Yep, those hockey sweaters are ugly. There has to be a standard/spec for the leaf. The beauty of Canadian uniforms has to be the easily recognizable (and standard) leaf and color scheme.
Black doesn't work either. I know Nike (in US) designed them, but someone up north had to sign-off on those 'eh.

Yep. US alpine unis are ugly and jacket is too long.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...
Not sure heavy stars and stripes has ever worked on ski uniforms - but this doesn't work either.
Eh, I kinda liked the Nagano ones. https://www.mic.com/articles/81189/looking-back-at-60-years-of-u-s-olympic-uniforms
The camo design feels similar to what the US skiers wear on the World Cup circuit, just in green instead of blue.
I think it is supposed to be an "A" for "America," rendered in a faux-Chinese font.
Not the greatest display of national pride?
Apparently it's actually Eric Haze's star logo

I honestly don't think I have ever really liked any team USA uniforms. Occasionally during an opening cerimony I will comment that some country has a cool looking outfit, but it is rare. They more often look ridiculous than look good.
