News Australian Olympic Uniforms

[HTT]

Going away from footy jumpers but still on the topic of uniforms:

Australia have just released the latest great opening ceremony uniform that we'll all definitely look back on in 30 years, probably with more regret than nostalgia, but that's beyond the point.
They've gone the QANTAS air hostess look again, but this time with a toothpaste coloured blazer and shoes that aren't volleys. I reckon it's not an oppressive uniform, but it's not one I look at and say 'That's Australia'. What are everybody else's thoughts?

 

[Mr Eagle]

Jackets and shorts on the guys makes for an instant no from me.

 

[Craegus]

No, just no.

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

ummm..... Hmmm.. Mmm.... Nah, nope, no thanks

 

[alex 3549]

It looks good.

 

[rippersnipper]

Needs more green and yellow imo

 

[Mr Eagle]

The striping on the jackets is showing up very badly in a lot of photos. That in itself seems to be a mistake.

 

[HaroLad]

Looks good, but the colours need to be Australian.

 

[Klim]

What's wrong with this? Shows our nation in our proud colours not that white crap.

 

[Silent Alarm]

**** the Olympics.

That press photo looks like it's modelled from a Ralph Lauren catalogue, or an early Vampire Weekend press photo

One of my favourite Aussie jackets, the full green n gold

I can see why they went for more clothing in London, but ffs, it's Rio, why not go a gold singlet, green boardies and thongs. That's timeless and Australian.

Because we want to be taken seriously, not a global joke

The opening ceremony of the olympics is place to showcase on thing and one thing alone. Your nation. We don't need to be serious to be taken seriously, we are inherently good at sport.

(Sorry as you'd imagine I don't often get to say 'we're good at x')

I actually like it! It certainly stands out but I think it looks the part.

Not sure about the gold bit but here in Perth both MLC and Wesley have green as their main colour in their uniforms, unless it's been changed of late?
