Canada's Olympic athletes will be sporting a touch of green in their traditionally red and white uniforms at the Beijing Games — not only as a colour but also in the eco-friendly fabrics used for the clothing line.

Although they won't be doing so all the way to the bank. The USOC dropped Roots too.
In favour of Ralph Lauren???
Yeah - not my favorite Canadian Olympic "look" this time around..
Sorry, but the guy in left of the photo looks like he was either jumped by a grafitti artist, or he just rolled out of bed in his sister's pj's...

Actually they do give them a bag to put over their head. They call it a B wrap or something - I forget what. It sounds to be like the buff's on survivor. You can wear it as a headband or around you neck and pull it up over your face to filter smog (which would be like putting a bag over your head)

I'll reserve judgment until I see the athletes wearing them this summer. At first glance, they don't really appeal to me, but who knows... Besides, it's more important that the athletes themselves like them. That said, if they're looking for regular people to buy them at The Bay, chances are they're not going to appeal to very many people.

OK, so I walk over to the nearby mall at lunchtime. There is a Bay store in the mall. I am strolling through the Bay when lo and behold, the officially unveiled gear is sitting there in a display right in front of me.
I never thought it was possible, but this stuff looks UGLIER in person than it does in the photos.
The pajama-like thing is available in a full-zip hoodie, and (hoodie gods please be kind to me) it is certainly a hoodie that should never have been made let alone be worn. Ick!!!

I disagree. I was at Zellers earlier this afternoon, and I think the gear looks quite nice. The photo with the head-to-toe busy pattern is a bit much, but take the top with black or red pants, and it's not so crazy.
Love life, eat plants, do yoga.
To be honest, the most disappointing thing wasn't even the hideous hoodie (which I wouldn't wear, knickers or not! ) To me it was actually the t-shirt which you can just barely see in the pic above on the guy at the far right. I think if you click on the link at the top, there is a much clearer picture near the bottom of the article. Anyway, I thought when I saw it on the news the shirt had at least a little potential. But when I saw it at the store, it looked really faded, like it had been washed about 200 times. If the colour is that poor on all of them, it will be a shame.
