I kind of like them.
The other examples from previous games look like they could be nearly anybody's.

I bet the planning phases for these uniforms involved a lot of drugs and hallucinogens.
It would of made the Emperor's Children proud.

Fabulous!
But to be fair, I could actually see somebody wear this outfit on the slopes (at least the white pants version)...

Their 2012 outfits actually looked better. Not too garish and actually looks better to behold. Kind of like on-ice bowlers.

My problem with the outfit isnt the flagmotif, its that it doesnt resemble the flag, it is just a bunch of cut up pieces of the flag turned into the outfit. There are some stipes here, some stars here, some more stripes here

Anybody's like UPS or Group 4 Security or Department of the Navy. The more I see of those dull old versions the more I like this one.
If you're going to hire a designer to design something, at least let him design it.

In the culinary world, they call that deconstructed x... In this case, these uniforms are Ralph Lauren's attempt at a deconstructed American flag

Seriously, these are not uniforms, these are things you sell to tourists who watch the game.

Now imagine two athletes wearing that ridiculous gear next to each other, sitting on toilets and tryng to make no noise and certainly make no eye contact, because there is no dividing wall. That is the $50 billion Sochi experience.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Are they trying to avoid eye contact because they are embarrassed to be going to the bathroom next to each other, or is it because they are embarrassed to be seen wearing those outfits?
