You gotta remember that Obama has individuals carrying the USA flag that have a certain taste in the same sex. I assume he had a hand in the design of the outfits to make them feel at home and "normal"

As an athlete, if after years and years of hard work and training to just get to the Olympics, I would probably care less about what my team outfits looked like, and just be thrilled to be representing the USA in the games :flag:

Let's be honest, the last real commercial success of Olympic team opening/closing ceremony attire was back in the 2002 Salt Lake City games with the Roots brand USA "berrets"

Other than that its all about some fashion designers with tastes far different than mine :rolleyes:

Wow... I thought I would try to add a bit of humor to it. Guess that didn't work... Maybe if I added a ":-D"? FYI I'm not a bible thumping anti-same-sex marriage person. I could give two S%&t's what people do when it comes to that. Just to put that out there...

Well, the implication of your comment to a casual reader can only be "Hideous outfit = must be gay."

View attachment 10521I still have my leather hiking boots. I love them.
I bought a pair of Vasque boots on Ebay that look almost the same, heavy, and stiff, as Hell, like wearing ski boots. We used to sell them at the Eureka Tent factory outlet store 30 yrs ago. Not much good for day hiking, might be good if carrying some weight. I miss the traditional Vibram soles, the newer ones suck, you have to be careful when you walk on hardwood floors, they like to hold onto rocks. Boots like these can be re-soled also. Oh, those outfits are hideous.
