I rather like it. Don't see what all the fuss is about... tis only a bit of sports clobber, innit.

Do people think that what colour of lycra they wear will make their physical performance any better??

I personally like the blue, but then, I am Scottish.... but then, there IS a red version too. I got over it all before I even saw the ruddy outfits.

Oh, and someone mentioned green. Wales perhaps??

I think it's hideous. I can only imagine the designer is colour blind, and didn't realise that the colours of the flag are red, white and blue. Or maybe it just went wrong at the printers and they didn't have time to get another lot done in the correct colours before the press conference, so they just had to go ahead wearing the faulty batch.

But as long as our athletes stop appearing in commercials every 5 minutes and get on with the serious business of actually training and then wining shed loads of gold medals, I couldn't really care what colour their kit is.

Looks like it's been washed on 60˚ and the colour has run.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Oh, I know what happened!!

There was a mix up, and this is actually the Winter Olympic kit, with all that nice cool blue ice!

Was the red version put in to wash with some... oh no wait, that would make it pink

Honestly. I can not see why people do not like this. I for one am not a flag waver, but i would
purchase one of these tops as they look good.

Thank god at least some of the footwear is red. Did she run out of toner in her printer when she was designing it?

Not a bad idea, though If your avatar is who i think it is then he would not have been happy.

old Johan? Hed have blanked out a stripe and signed his own kit deal...

I liked it at first but seeing the sea of inky blue/grey in the group photo it looks downbeat and drab. Everyone knows RED is the colour of sporting success and there's not enough of it. Is there a red version?
The men's olympic jacket looks better with the red cuffs, not that I'd consider buying one.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Is there a red version?

Have you even been reading this??
Actually, on second thoughts, given the amount of crap devoted to the blue version there IS a red version and it has already been mentioned, but, it is very much blink and you'll miss it.

Oops sorry, i wont be buying the kit. Just realised it's Adidas (i only buy Nike).

Have you seen the team GB clothing range on the Olympic website, it's tragic.

At least you have 126 days to get used to it.

Yes its good to know there is at least one news programme that doesn't take itself TOO seriously.

Yes, I saw you mentioned it but it's not featured in any meaningful way on the adidas website and i lost interest (about one minute) before I could find one.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Oh alright then.

Surely if there is a blue and red version, that there should be a green version to keep the Welsh happy too??

Or, maybe there is, and nobody else has stripped off on telly yet.
