    I disliked the outfits of the German team also. Pink for the ladies and light blue for the men... They looked like Barbie and Ken, yuck!

    Were the German uniforms made in Germany?

    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    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.

    This is what they are looking like:

    The article, btw, is mocking the "kindergarten" look...

    That sounds promising! I saw him winning his first gold medal yesterday!

    The German swimmers, however, were just disappointing.

    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! lol

    I was looking at the page you referred us to with the picture, at the responses following the article. I wish I understood German, because I'd love to see what kind of comments those outfits were getting!

    Some say they hate them, but others claimed to actually like them because they are "different". Well, different is what they are - indeed! lol
