Our thoughts on the United States’ Olympic look?
The threads were created by American deisgner Ralph Lauren.
We love the classy look, but what is this? a country club?
Sudan-born Lopez Lomong, a first-time track team member, was the U.S. flag bearer during today’s Opening Ceremony at the Bird’s Nest stadium.

It could have been a lot worse. I heard P. Shitty was in the running to design the outfits. That would have been push-up bras and minis for the girls and low-riding jeans, skull caps and hoodies for the boys. And if Marc Jacobs did it, it would be reversed.
Post number 1, yeap.
I’m very happy for Mr Lomong. If you’re unfamiliar with his story, you should google him.
Who do you mean by P-Shitty?
Lopez Lomong was a “lost boy”. an amazing story!
They are pretty fugly. Too sailer boy looking, too dark, the hats are idiotic looking, and they generaly are extremely gay.
Hey Buddy, aren’t you Canadian? Before this blog got big there were tons of shout outs to Canada…
I agree w/ Canuck Chick… Why aren’t you talking about the Canadian outfits?! From what I recall, you’re Canadian!
Great he made our athlete’s look gay.
How embarrassing. They look so bad. What an idiot to think that looks good.
canuck chick, yes I am, but the Canadian celeb market is absolutely void of any enthusiasm. The market just doesn’t exist. I initally wanted to give the site a heavy Canadian angle, but there is no point. Besides, everyone knows that the Canadian team always looks good. Red and white. Very sporty. Now can we move on?
Oh sure, Arasto–the Canadians looked very sporty. Like their outfits came straight from Kmart’s sportswear department. Dude, you cover high fashion on this website–how can you say those threads were anything but frumpy and ill-fitting?
I will fully admit that the U.S. delegation looked suspiciously like a Ralph Lauren ad (and where was the red in that vast sea of blue and white? Did Ralph have a senior moment and forget that color?). But at least the U.S. outfits were TAILORED. The Canadian athletes looked like a bunch of Florida retirees in those ill-fitting duds.
Oh Dear, all of those mandingos in China.
I hope they have good security systems there.
Chinese people please have much watermelon & fried chicken on hand, the coon is easily distracted. Simply throw the watermelon and the spear chucker will run towards it thus enabling your escape.
Another sure fire way to distract the colored is to tell them you have work for them to do. This is by far the easiest way to cause the jigaboo to run the other way. This can be enhanced by pointing in the direction you would like for the coon to, point and announce “Welfare office over there (be sure to POINT).”
This can be tricky though, do not ever give a directional command to the smelly Monkey, they can barely brush their tooth let alone figure out what you’re saying!
You must point to ensure that the jungle bunny understands.
If dealing with an Aunt Jemima, just spread vaseline jelly on the bumper of a car or truck then point and say “free lip chap”, the darkie spade to place her spook lips onto the bumper and form a suction that is almost impossible to break!
I think they look great!! Very preppy and very All-American. Ralph Lauren always keeps it classy and stylish in my opinion. A nice change this year.
