    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.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    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.

    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!

    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

    I keep my eye on the Olympics if nothing else is taking up my time. But I do want to watch the equestrian part of it, wouldn't miss that for anything, especially the dressage.

    The Chinese wore uniforms made in Southern California.
