2024 Paris Fashion and Olympic Leotard discussion

They have the contract to design the leisure wear, ie not the athletic wear, which I think is Nike. They’ve had it since at least 2012

And they do practically the same thing every time, and it basically never feels representative of the nation. This is the worst yet, though, I think.

Edit to add- good on Shilese for being a chosen model, though, she is well suited for that role. None of the criticisms here have anything to do with her.

It's very much the RL aesthetic. Are we surprised that it's one again screaming privileged preppy white New England?

 

[Sasha]

My god those pants ... that's gonna age real bad.

Closing ceremonies look like NASCAR rejects. Yuck.

On Shilese I thought it looked like ski wear but with the full length, they look like a pit crew.

 

[lovegymnasts]

Who pairs white with cream?
No!
All of it is just no!

I actually like Ralph Lauren. But this is just ill fitting & badly tailored. anyhow, good for Shi for getting the deal.

 

[Laura722]

I hope that means her shoulder is feeling fine!

Her coach said if Nationals were Olympic Trials, Shilese would have competed. It sounds like it was just a precaution.

 

[Laura722]

I like the blazers.

Those Nascar-like jackets are weird. There has been this horrible (IMO) fashion trend of very oversized clothing and it has made its way into these outfits.

Hope they go 1996 retro with swishy warmups for LA2028...

she looks like a badly dressed flight attendant.

Just because she can fly does not mean she deserves this outfit

Sneak peak at the Team USA medal ceremony jackets

For the Podium – Traditional and Sleek Fit by Nike​

Nike is in charge of outfitting Team USA's medal-winning athletes — and as early looks have already proven, every man and woman standing atop the winner's podium will be celebrating in comfort and style.

According to Nike, medal winners will don blue "zipped jackets with mock collars and slim-fitting pants with tapered legs made from the same stretchy material as the jacket." Using many design cues and flourishes from the classic Nike attire of yesteryear, the athletes will easily be confused for activewear models. Of course, the podium uniform isn't complete without authentic Nike Air Max sneakers to round out the look. Don't worry; Nike will supply every medal winner with new, color-matched kicks.

I really don’t like the medal stand outfits, either. That is a hideous shade of blue.

 

[Sasha]

The medal uniforms look quite nice.

I feel like this is a ridiculous amount of gear, though. I get having a uniform or two, but they're practically giving the athletes a wardrobe. It's unnecessary.

I like that shade of blue.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

Those do not look leisurely at all. Yuck.

Oh they get way.. way more than just this. They get all of the USOC gear, the gear from their specific sports federation, plus gifts from all of the sponsors. Shoes, sunglasses, jewelry, cell phones, and more.
