But if that connection makes everything look like the bobsled suits...then forget it.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314002882388226423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445100074554613043.post-22616713008324464342010-02-15T14:59:25.307-06:002010-02-15T14:59:25.307-06:00Hudson's Bay Company did Canada's stuff. ...Hudson's Bay Company did Canada's stuff. It does look great.<br />Ralph Lauren is not alone to blame for the ugliness of our nation's teams though. Under Armour (as much as i love them) did a horrible job with our skiers and bobsledders.<br />Nike and Burton , on the other hand, did a great job with our hockey and snowboarding teams, respectively. I think Burton's designs are probably the most American, unique, and suitable for the sport than ANY I have ever seen. What is more American than blue jeans? My absolute favorite Olympic gear; I want to buy it and I don't even board.<br />To sum it up: Props to Hudson's Bay, Nike, & Burton; Thumbs down to Ralph Lauren & UA.<br /><br />This article is pretty informative:<br />http://www.fastcompany.com/1547690/the-winter-olympics-uniform-design-for-god-country-fashion-and-sportLax Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14187454847190191205noreply@blogger.com
