LOL!!

The garish, rods-and-cones-searing outfits, designed by Russian firm Bosco (seriously?), were provided to Spain courtesy of an agreement with the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE). Can’t say I blame Bosco. Would you want these around?

Bosco also designed the Official uniforms for the Russian and Ukrainian Olympic teams. I am too frightened too seek out photos.

But I, intrepid admin as I am, I sought a photo of the Ukrainian uniforms and found......(article)

I am, ahem, ok with the Ukranian unis.

But yikes:

Here are the Russkies. Maybe Sveta dogged it in the Olympic tryouts after she saw what the unis look like. They look pink!

I thought this line was funny. The blogger also said (about Bosco who designed the uniforms)...

Even Svet wouldn't look good in that gear. What the heck- the Soviet Union unis looked better than that, for God's sake.

The article Wonkster lined referenced Rafa the flag-bearer for Spain. He recently pulled out of the Olympics because "he wasn't fit to compete," a somewhat nebulous reason. Maybe we've found the real culprit.

Looks like one of my dear, departed Italian grandmother's aprons.
By coincidence, her flour of choice was gold medal -- not something these uniforms would win.

I'm not really all that impressed by our USA uniforms.

Ehh, not much better. Makes us look like we will be taking a ship across the pond to get to England.

Let's see, the sailor suit or the pizza delivery outfit...hmmmmm...ahoy, matey!

Holy Cow. Not much of a leap.

But ~ were they made in China?

Looks like the Spanish Olympians are ready to join the "indignados".

Looks like a NASCAR hat to me.

No so much a sailor suit, but early 1900's.

Yes, British Navy...I think I'll pour me a dram of Pusser's right now like!

I was thinking Tijuana...

I've seen the British Navy.......they didn't look like that.

I thought I was old...! Since 1748, British Royal Navy uniforms have been white and navy blue...where we derived the classic blue blazer.

Getting back to our putrid silver uniforms...this year the Huskies may be so good that the Nike unis become a fashion statement...kinda Gaga-esque!
