No matter what Olympic year it is, fans have a general idea of what Team USA’s athletes will wear to the Opening Ceremony because since 2008, Ralph Lauren has been outfitting them. And those outfits generally look the same.
Covered in red, white and blue, American athletes don preppy, New England-looking styles that often look repetitive and stiff, especially when compared with the unbridled enthusiasm of the people wearing them.
At Friday’s Opening Ceremony — which officially kicked off the Games, even though some sports began playing this week — Team USA’s look included jeans, navy blue blazers, blue-and-white striped shirts and ascots. And let’s just say a lot of people weren’t huge fans of the look.
Olympics fans on Twitter didn’t hold back and roasted Team USA’s look this year, as well as those of previous Games.
