Must admit, though, I do like the bucket hat!

If there's a blue version and a red version, why not just combine them and have a red, white and blue version, like what's on our actual flag? I quite like the use of one corner of it, but the lack of all the colours in one annoys me.

I'm not especially precious about the flag, but on Olympic kit I'd like to see all the colours in one outfit.

And this bullshit about 'taking the flag out of its comfort zone!' WTF is that all about?

I agree, I don't mind the design, I just think the colours are very plain and not very ....us. With most of our old kits, you could tell at a glance it was Team GB, with the right colours, you could have had the same with this design.

At the moment it has a reaction of...hmmm...OH! its Great Britain right?

What can you expect from someone who turns up in their pyjamas and looks like their desperate to get away for a pee

Slagging off the kit is all part of the build up towards further disappointment and ultimately to humiliation. It's a well trodden path for us Brits. We're going down in a blaze of mediocrity.

I think one of those landed in my garden once....

Was her brief to fly the flag, or just look to it for inspiration?
Lots of people will have had an opinion before this launch, so someone has approved it.

you weren't alone in noticing that...looking at what she was wearing made me think the team got off lightly with the design.
