( usa....... usa........ usa ...)

The USA Walking in outfit
I'll save any judgment on the actual uniforms (?) until I see them in the opening ceremony - ( I do sort of like the sweater - although it seems a bit more apres ski than ski ). And! the sweaters will come home still looking brand new - because the folks that have them CAN'T WEAR THEM WHILE THERE!

From the WSJ : The U.S. unveiled more of its Winter Olympic uniforms Thursday, but officials are cautioning athletes to keep theirs under wraps outside the games' venues.
A memo sent to athletes by the U.S. Olympic Committee cautions them to avoid wearing team colors too prominently in Sochi amid heightened concerns about security in the southern Russian resort town.
"The U.S. Department of State has advised that wearing conspicuous Team USA clothing in non-accredited areas may put your personal safety at greater risk,"  THE REST
