Whats with the Aussie Olympians uniforms?

[jaydee]

Just saw our Olympians in part of their uniforms at the air port.
Big black and white horizontal stripes.
They look like convicts.
Compared to uniforms from previous Olympics they looked pretty ordinary to me.
All the same "Go Aussie".

For some reason Aussie Olympic uniforms always look like crap compared to other countries....not sure why, can not be that hard to design a cool uniform........

The Pommy barmy army would love that at the cricket.

The Year 2000 uniform was awesome I thought.

But I think the Olympics has lots its meaning.
It was once about competing and having fun.
Once drugs came in, it was a sign that it was about more.

We also pretty much know who'll win what since there is some championship event on every few months....

The most overrated sporting event in the world now.

If they look like convicts then at least the world will know where they come from.
Who cares what they look like. Get that damn gold! :

Let it also be said that that ball and chain was clearly marked with, "Made in England". :

But these days it would be marked "Made in China"
