The denim jacket is perfect for the closing ceremony and the after party. It’s different enough to stand out. The USA uniform seems so preppy....meh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187986 Mon, 19 Apr 2021 12:43:23 +0000 lyn67 2187986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Canadian&nbsp; denim jacket- rebelliously different!! --including the witty&nbsp; connotation to the canadian tux...!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187709 Sun, 18 Apr 2021 05:33:19 +0000 Anonymous 2187709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all if athletes have a choice of style to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187704 Sun, 18 Apr 2021 04:34:27 +0000 Sloper 2187704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cat2 </b>- you worded well the thought I had but didn't know how to express.<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187650 Sun, 18 Apr 2021 01:01:19 +0000 Anonymous 2187650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I kind of love it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187578 Sat, 17 Apr 2021 20:09:40 +0000 nemosmom 2187578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that the Canada "tuxedo" needs blue jeans to match the denim jacket </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187576 Sat, 17 Apr 2021 19:52:33 +0000 LaPed 2187576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like neither of these collections is anything particularly new. I'm pretty sure Canada has done denim jackets in the past, and Ralph Lauren still looks like... Ralph Lauren. This is what we get for holding the 2020 Olympics in 2021. We're going to end up trapped in a time loop! (I will not be surprised if it gets cancelled/postponed again.)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187478 Sat, 17 Apr 2021 14:47:56 +0000 cat2 2187478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, I would parse the diversity question differently; Ralph Lauren built a successful brand based on reinterpreting preppy and Western wear, while wading through a sea of anti-Semitism. The current myopic focus on race ignores religion and class barriers to success. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187421 Sat, 17 Apr 2021 11:29:21 +0000 bella 2187421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big kudos to the Canadian team, if they can bring back the fanny pack!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187420 Sat, 17 Apr 2021 11:26:24 +0000 bella 2187420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the fence about the denim jackets.

And can we not find another sponsor ? The Bay and their logo are - well, yuck. &nbsp;I remember entering a design competition for the Canada Summer Games uniforms a million years ago.

More importantly, there has been a push to get the industry to be more inclusive, and they chose the old white guy? Ugh. Sorry, Carla, I know this thread is supposed to be about Canada &amp; your uniforms, but from what I see, you’ve got little to complain about compared to your neighbors to the south (us). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187182 Fri, 16 Apr 2021 17:38:17 +0000 Angie 2187182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOO! WHITE JEANS, red, polo horsey emblem, a bit of '80s street style, and denim jackets. I love it ALL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187181 Fri, 16 Apr 2021 17:37:00 +0000 unfrumped 2187181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Not really a fan of the denim as performance material for athletes’ uniforms. I think it would be hard to get comfortable fit and aesthetics across a wide range of body builds. Plus laundering seems more difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olympic-uniforms-1#post-2187180 Fri, 16 Apr 2021 17:36:39 +0000 rachylou 2187180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol.
