American designer and clothing manufacturer Ralph Lauren will be dressing Team U.S.A. for the summer games, and captures the spirit f our nation - the goods were made in China.
Aside for drawing outrage from members of congress, U.S. fashion designers are also decrying the line, saying the athletes could have "absolutely" been outfitted in U.S.-made clothing - and for less. So how much do these uniforms cost?
Men:
Beret - $55
Tie - $125
Belt - $85
Shirt - $425
Blazer - $795
Trousers - $295
Shoes - $165
Women:
Beret - $55
Scarf - $58
Belt - $85
Shirt - $179
Skirt - $498
Blazer - $598
The U.S. Olympic team may be privately funded, but this is really insulting. Knowing how much clothes manufacturing really costs - even in America, it's disgusting to see Ralph Lauren not only make the items overseas, but make them at such an inflated cost. Fuck you Benedict Arnold Ralph Lauren.
