I like Christmas sweaters which others say are ugly--so I like these sweaters a lot!

Per Ralph Lauren, this year's US Olympic athlete's opening clothing was inspired by "Americana Patchwork Quilts"! What a fun, colorful red, white and blue design and so nice to see quilting recognized worldwide!!

The design of the sweaters is very busy----------BUT I LOVE THEM!

I agree, just way to busy. They could have been more "quilt like".

I think they're ugly too. But these are worse:

I just went online to take a look at these, I had not seen them before. I must say they are bulky and interesting. Can't say for sure if I like them or not. My son is the operations manager in one of RL's large stores, and he hasn't mentioned if they have the line for the public or not, he was just home for a short visit, and nothing was said, but he doesn't talk about what goes on at work. I just know they are always very busy. I'm just glad that the apparel is made in the USA.
