My eyes, they burn biggrin

Which may be a benefit in competitive sports, since the other team is blind.

Please tell me that's a joke.

I heard Herb Tarlek has put an order in for five of those suits.

All they need are the old fashioned straw hats and they can be a barbershop quartet.

It's not a joke. It's become somewhat of a gimick for the curling team, after the 'clown pants' in Vancouver. But it's not the official norwegian uniform, no smile

Even so, it's still ten times better than that horror the US call their olympic uniform.

Why not ? It reminds us that sport should not be taken seriously and money should not be the main engine behind the so called O.lympic spirit..

I agree, it looks awful. That's Zach Parise of the men's hockey team, looking like he's wearing either a bad Christmas sweater or a quilt belong to your overly-patriotic grandma. eek

A weird mix of rainbow colours and some kind of Flecktarn camouflage trousers.

At least the American uniforms aren't made in China, like the last ones?

I assume that's the whole point behind all these "gaudy" outfits.

Since displaying "rainbow" colors is now outlawed in Russia.

Taste and Olympics are like oil and water.

Remember back in the 90s whenever the US hockey team scored a goal: "Whoomp, There it Is! Whoomp, There it is! Whoomp, There it is!"

Yes, whoever team Canada hired as their clothing designer knew what they were doing!

Yep, the little duffle-coat (?) is absolutely neat.

Agreed, it looks very good. Stylish without looking gaudy.

And, getting back to awful-looking uniforms, it looks like the U.S. Snowboarding Team robbed a couple of homeless guys for their jackets:





Really, that's the best our clothing designers can do? Yeesh.

Re: Team Norway Olympic uniforms - 02/01/14 10:50 AM

I like to imagine the one one the left put her foot down
and said no way I'm wearing that - or maybe accidently on
purpose lost it in the goodwill donations bag...

Well, not sure what to make of the brown-haired girl with the bangs in the middle, plus the last two on the right I would say are average, and the second on the left is obscured --- so "some."

Girl 3rd from left looks like a relative of that girl in Game of Thrones... the one with the gay brother.

The 2 blondes after the obscured girl are doable. So is the blonde in the front from the right.
