2008 BEIJING OLYMPIC UNIFORMS

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT...

I love watching the Olympics. The first one I ever watched and understood was Atlanta in 96 I was 12 at the time. The opening ceremonies in Beijing were a feast for the eyes and no doubt probably the best ones to date. I will stand by this though: FREE TIBET! Let them be!

My favorite part, the lit up suits were so cool. Apparently they were suppose to be black but decided to make them neon green at the last minute. Thousands had to be ordered in! Great choice though, the black would have definitely not been as nice and eye catching.

FASHION REVIEW

CANADIAN OLYMPIC TEAM. In comparison to recent years, I predicted that this would be a style mishap and I stand by that. Were normally the fashion leaders, but I guess we've lost our thrown. I can tell that the sentiment is echoed throughout the country, because in previous Olympics everyone would rush to buy the gear and this year I haven't seen one person sporting it. I hope we do well this year, in Canada we have a saying "It's better on top";)

I think the red white and gold combination was a bad idea.

TEAM USA. They stuck with the poor boy hats again. I like it though because it makes this outfit look more casual and fun.

The new high quality performance gear.

TEAM AUSTRALIA. Tie Dye 90s parachute jacket? Although I think this is a bit of mistake I like the way the colors looked, like the ocean. They probably should have worn the Aussie colors of green and gold though. Isn't that what your suppose to do?

Originally a month or so ago, I had read that this would be the outfit for the Australian team at the opening ceremonies, but instead they showed up in parachute jackets. Maybe they will wear it to the closing ceremonies? I'm so confused.

OLYMPIC TRENDS

WHITE BLAZERS

TEAM MEXICO. Sharp.

TEAM KYRGYZSTAN. White shoes too! I like the hats!

TEAM ARMENIA.

TEAM AZERBAIJAN. I think these hats are cute also.

TEAM TURKEY. I love this combination of red and white, it would be interesting to see the Canadian team dress that way, but it will never happen.



YELLOW AND REDTEAM CHINA. The combination with the white pants stood out really well.

TEAM SPAIN. I like China's combination better with the white pants, but I like that Spain included cute hats and belts! Accessorize!

I guess China did have cute hats, why didn't they use them? Maybe they would look too much like Spain.



GREY BLAZERS TEAM CUBA. I like the splash of blue, but the look is a little severe for me.

NORWAY. I smile looking at this picture because I think they were probably the sharpest ones there! Look at the fit of the skirt and the suits!

NETHERLANDS. The white piping and orange tie keeps this form looking ordinary.

TEAM CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC. I really love this pale grey color.


BLUE BLAZERS
TEAM RUSSIA. I really like the gold emblem on the jacket, the outfits are so chic!



TEEAM UKRAINE. Wow they have a lot of athlets.

TEAM SAN MARINO. This color blue is on the back wall of my living room. Love it! It's very fresh looking with the white pants.

TEAM URUGUAY.

TEAM ST LUCIA. I would have expected them to wear something more beacy looking. I don't mind the darker take on the pants and blazer.

TROPICAL STYLETEAM TUVALU. Fun, but still polished. They found a good balance and I like what the flag barer is wearing. This is apparently the happiest country in the world if you check Wikipedia's happy index.

TEAM MARSHALL ISLANDS. I like what they are wearing around their necks, it looks so cool and it seems to represent their country well.

MICRONESIA. I think this is a combination of many small islands in the pacific.

TRADITIONAL TEAM BHUTAN. I can't really comment on this stuff, it's traditional!

TEAM PAPUA NEW GUINEA. I have a soft spot for this place. My boyfriend's uncle married a girl fromt here. I want to visit someday soon!

TEAM BURKINA FASO. The flag barer looks so confident.

OMAN.

MULTI COLORED

TEAM TURKMENISTAN. Wow that's quite olive green.

TEAM BRAZIL. They look cool and fresh. Relaxed, but put together.

TEAM NEPAL. I love it this color orange, I think they look really good.

TEAM LATVIA. Well they are wearing their countries color!

TEAM LITHUANIA. Umm sorry, not feeling it. It's wayyyy too casual and plain. They could have put a little more effort. At least the color stands out...

SOME OTHERSTEAM NEW ZEALAND. I'm very fond of New Zeland, I had a great time last time I was there. What is with the dead animal on the flag barer's back though? I'm sure it has some significance, no it's okay you don't have to fill me in.

TEAM GREAT BRITAIN. They were one of my favorites of the night, I would wear this look anywhere.
