surfgirl July 25 Share July 25 I looked at the above article and honestly, some of the team designs are just OTT. I like a good old school Olympic team uniform. Nigeria looks good, USA always looks good because Ralph Lauren understands the assignment. That said I don't like thr jeans, too casual. 1 Link to comment
Girl in a Cardigan July 25 Share July 25 Not a huge fan of the USA Closing Ceremonies(?) outfit because it’s just too white and puffy. 3 Link to comment

Trini July 30 Author Share July 30 (edited) The Fug Girls did a slideshow of some of the women's gymnastics leotards: https://www.gofugyourself.com/the-u-s-womens-gymnasts-wore-stars-not-stripes-in-paris-07-2024 Rhinestones are in this year -- but have they ever been 'out'? They usually do a fair amount of Olympic fashion coverage, in certain categories. Edited July 30 by Trini 2 Link to comment
Souris July 30 Share July 30 I didn’t care for the U.S. leotards today. I thought they looked kind of cheap and uncomfortable. I think it was the choppy red stripes on the white. On the other hand, Brazil’s were just beautiful and so elegant. Argh, I accidentally hit the spoiler tag button and now I can’t get rid of it! Spoiler Spoiler 1 1 Link to comment

There some discussion, and a slideshow, here: https://www.gofugyourself.com/now-lets-give-the-mens-gymnastics-teams-some-love-07-2024 I'm watching the crappy NBC coverage, so I haven't seen many of the designs. I did love the U.S.A. men's leaotards with the wing design. Japan's designs for both men and women's have been fantastic. And I liked Ukraine's for the men's all-around. Link to comment

katisha August 4 Share August 4 I was trying to work out why the design on Germany's swimsuits looked kind of familiar...and then I caught a train to work the other day, one of a few in Brisbane Australia that have been painted up with designs by a local Indigenous artist! 1 1 Link to comment

Like too short for the dress--a matter of proportions, I think. Link to comment

Like too short for the dress--a matter of proportions, I think. Yeah I noticed that too. I think the issue is that she is short waisted and she needs to wear outfits that elongate her and the short skirts do not. So maybe she doesn't know how to dress herself after all, but she's gorgeous and I love that she is both feminine and strong and kick ass on the Paris After Dark gig! 2 Link to comment
Souris August 9 Share August 9 (edited) Am watching encore of USA-Italy men's volleyball. Why does Italy have blue uniforms?! There is zero blue in their flag! I was totally confused which team was which and had to look up a photo online to make sure my TV's color hadn't gone wonky and they were actually green. Edited August 9 by Souris 1 Link to comment
Salacious Kitty August 9 Share August 9 (edited) Italy's athletes are known as the Azzuri. Hence, they wear blue unis. Riddle me on why Australia wears yellow and green? 😀 Edited August 9 by Salacious Kitty 4 Link to comment

Australia's flag is red white and blue but their team.colors are always green and yellow. It doesn't have to make sense I guess. Link to comment

StatisticalOutlier August 10 Share August 10 Anybody know why USA's track outfits are purple? That's what you get when you mix red, white, and blue, but surely that's not it. 1 Link to comment

I actually think those particular kits are red and blue stripes, but the stripes are so thin and close together that they look purple to the naked eye. Some of the men (and I think a few of the women) had on solid blue last night. 3 Link to comment
