Olympic team uniforms should be burned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Olympic Committee for allowing the uniforms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which are made in China.
"The Olympics are a time when Americans take great pride in our nation's top athletes as they strive for gold. Olympic Committee is symbolic of a disastrous trade policy which has cost us millions of decent-paying jobs and must be changed."
USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky called the debate "nonsense" on Twitter. Olympic Team is privately funded and we're grateful for the support of our sponsors. team uniforms are made in China,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Politico reported.
"They should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them," Reid sad.
Earlier: There's no skirting this issue.
When Team USA's opening ceremony uniforms were unveiled Tuesday morning in USA TODAY, the women's uniform consisted of a fitted navy blazer and a knee-length cream silk skirt. There were no pants to be found,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], either in the Ralph Lauren sketches or online where the merchandise is sold.
It all seemed a tad limiting, so USA TODAY Sports wondered if the men were the only ones wearing the pants in this Olympic relationship. Olympic Committee and Ralph Lauren,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who said there will be a pants option for women though no sketches were available.
And now there's a report by ABC News that every piece of the uniform is made in China. Has there ever been so much buzz about an Olympic uniform? Fashion designer Nanette Lepore questioned the choice, telling ABC News:
"Why shouldn't we have pride not only in the American athletes, but in the American manufacturers and laborers who are the backbone of our country? Why? What's wrong? Why was that not a consideration?"
The men's uniform consists of cotton club-collar sport shirts, red and navy ties,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and double-breasted blazers and cuffed, cream,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flat-front trousers. In modeling the uniforms, soccer player Heather Mitts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who wore crew socks and nubuck cream saddle shoes, called the ensemble "amazing."
For inspiration, the Ralph Lauren team relied on photos from USOC's archives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1948 in particular, the last time the Games were held in London. "Knowing that we were going back to England, there was a feeling of Chariots of Fire," David Lauren,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the designer's son, said.
The men and women will wear berets. No doubt Ralph Lauren is hoping to recreate the beret craze of 2002, when the Canadian company Roots debuted THE fashion accessory in Salt Lake City.
