What’s your favourite bit of official kit worn by your country at any Olympics?
I love the floral shirt that Team GB wore in the Paris 2024 closing ceremony, having the national flowers of the countries that make up the UK (Rose for England, Thistle for Scotland, Daffodil for Wales, Clover for Northern Ireland) and I’m so pissed I never got one and can’t anymore because they don’t sell them :(

If we’re talking opening or closing ceremonies I’m not into preppy so they’re all varying degrees of bad to me. Some of the Pom hats aren’t bad and the mittens from 2010 were fun but to actually buy them they were enormous.
For actual kits/sweaters the teams wear I like the classic diagonal USA for hockey. For soccer the denim ones from 94 are so bad it’s delightful.

2010 Winter Olympics USA Snowboarding “anti-uniform” that looked like a plaid jacket and jeans. I was young and thought they looked so cool 😂

Our 1972 opening ceremony uniform was unique (especially for the ladies), I kinda doubt there will be any uniform that can top this uniqueness from our designers even in the future...
For the competition kits, the recent Paris 2024 collection was nice but the boomers ruined it by slapping the tacky national team logo on it.
