I agree with VaultBrad, that our elite look like Swedish jumpers -- no offense to Sweden -- but I think it kind of looks like the blue ranger from the power rangers. Its morphing time!! Triceritop!

Do you think the athletes had any choice of what the colors were? That would be pretty lame if Nike was just like, "Okay, here's your uniform." You would think that Nike would have a little more respect for their athletes that win gold medals and what not.

And I still think the unis are sweet.
