I'm actually way more offended that Ralph Lauren was chosen to design the outfits.

Remember when the US team wore Levi's, cowboy boots, and Stetsons? Now that was a good look!

The problem with the American economy is that people think that its No big deal if items purchased are not made in America. It bothers me that we don't make anything anymore! Here is a perfect chance for America to show pride in American achievement and what do we do? Show case China's sewing abilities! Amazing!

We do make things in America.

I would bet that there is something that I made, or was at least made in the plant that I work in your home.

I just have to wonder if anyone on that team has a mom that could've sewn those uniforms. Or maybe they should have made them themselves. Seems fair to me.

The Chinese athletes, are probably the only team, in the world, to be proudly wearing the made in China label.

Hopefully, the seams will not rip out half-way through their event, or fade horribly, the first time they are washed.

I heard one commentator jokingly say : " whats more American than wearing Chinese made clothing'??" LOL Sad but true. And those clothes could be made here, there would just be less profit going to the head honchos who are based here. Such patriots, those 'job creators'.

Don't see what is so special about those uniforms, they look like they could be bought at any department store.. Boring without any real direction.
