US Olympic Athlete's Opening Clothing "American Patchwork Quilt" Inspired
 

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!!

I just saw the same thing on the Today show!
Nice colorful outfits and supposed to be nice and warm...

Here's a pic

well that's better than one time I watched and saw these very large people, thinking they must be Russian or some other Country, baggy clothing, large bodies. Didnt' look like athletes at all. It was the U.S. athletes. boy!!

I too saw the preview of the opening ceremony clothing... and had the same reaction! When they said "inspired by a long American tradition .. quilting" I smiled and thought "Yippee".

Very interesting and made in the U.S.A. The price of the sweaters available to the public is very steep!

Am I the only one that thinks they are ugly? I think the sweaters look like ugly Christmas sweaters. At least they are made in the USA.

I think that is cool - thanks for sharing

Well there will be no doubt which country they're from, that's for sure!

GrammaNan, I'm with you!
