I only saw bits of it. I did see the flame being lit and the US team coming in. I sure dislike those outfits. You'd think our colors were white and blue instead of red, white and blue. Hardly any red on them at all. :(

Were those US uniforms still the ones that were made in China, or did they get new made-in-USA ones in time for this?
They were the originals - there wasn't time to re-do them. For the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, it has been promised the uniforms will be made here.Quote:

Were the German uniforms made in Germany?
Love the olympics. Gymnastics, swimming, diving, track, etc etc. incredible.
My chosen one this year is Ryan Lochte for the swimming.
But really just the incredible display of athletisism is enough for me. I love to watch almost all of it.
Not fond of the basketball though
I have no idea to be honest... All I know is that they were made by Bogner.Quote:

The article, btw, is mocking the "kindergarten" look...
That sounds promising! I saw him winning his first gold medal yesterday!Quote:

Oh, I don't like those German uniforms either... not only do they look like Ken and Barbie, the colors clash totally with those of the German flag!
Exactly! I really don't know why they haven't chosen something in the colors of our flag; that would have looked much nicer. These uniforms look ridiculous; one article referred to them as "piggy pink" and "baby blue", which is so true! lolQuote:

What's with Sweden wearing those ugly prison stripe polo shirts???? Looks like not much thought went into that design!
Haha, yes, those were even worse! :DQuote:

The Chinese wore uniforms made in Southern California.Quote:
