burn olympic uniforms

By all means have them made here! How dare the olympic team even think of doing such a thing! Whoever has them made...knew they were being made in China and that person/company whoever...should be fired from the Olympic team protocal. There are probably dozens of places that'd make the teams uniforms FOR FREE...just for saying where they were made or being able to say "we made the teams uniforms"...but..just another way that the "upper management" of this country doesn't care about this country and more evidence that the "upper management" is spending our money beyond follishly into disgustment. Those uniforms are quite a deal...ton of money spent there..and you know that in China they ones that actually did the sewing were only paid pennies on the dollar to it is just more to profit China instead of USA. Shame shame, shame on this company and the olympic protocal that allowed it.

I like your title "burn olympic uniforms" and I agree with it. They should build a big bonfire and burn all of those Chinese made uniforms, then look to American companies to produce uniforms for them. One post said maybe they would give the uniforms free, but I don't think that would be right. They paid China, let them pay US! I know the effect is small, but if we talk to others about it, it may grow: We need to "Buy American." Even if "they" say it's a terrorist activity.

Okay, this story got me laughing. Not because they were made in China, although that is one of the dumbest things I've heard in a while. I mean, seriously? But what got me laughing was the absolute rage expressed on Capitol Hill because of this issue. Democrats and Republicans were both irate. And I'm thinking, holy cow. Abortion hardly raises a stir, religious persecution in foreign countries gets barely a nod, but you flip out over American uniforms being made in China?! I think it's an issue, but these guys were fuming. Shouldn't they be fuming about the real issues of the day? Because if they were this mad about "real life" things maybe they'd get a lot more done. But Ralph Lauren, you have got to be kidding me. Did he seriously think this would not get attention?

i am not surprised that some designers still use sweat shops in China. That the US uniforms are made by a famous US designer doesn't surprise me either. The US is always about buying US made. Wonder where they went wrong here. Canada's Olympic uniforms are made here in Canada. GO CANADA!

It is made in China, it pretty much explain why those American athletes look so terrible and kind of odd looking with those dresses, pants and blazers in picture. They need a better looking and well design uniform that fix well with their shape and body assembled by adults, not some child labors somewhere hidden inside China factory. Sigh!!

I think it is sad that nothing was made here and it would be nice if they did wear clothing American made but lets face it, everything is foreign made becasue Americans do not want to pay for the work based off our pay scales yet they want the pay scales to be higher. Double sided swords my friend.

It is very interesting that people are very concerned about the uniforms that were made in China. Many community organizations including schools do the same thing. Many communities have several small business that could provide sports apparel to fans but the people go to other communities or other states. The American people need to more concerned buying locally and support local business just as the the government and larger organization should be considering buying American.

I was also upset by this...I watched it on the news as they checked the labels....I am all for American made. That's part of the problems we have now. They farm everything out because it's cheaper and that is also what you get....cheaper!

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/ralph-lauren-promises-2014-olympic-opening-ceremony-outfits-234334614--oly.html Ralphie baby finally listened...albeit to late! I mean come on...what was he thinking in the first place? But the article makes it sound like a mockery saying "Hopefully, it will also knock Congress and everyone else complaining about the issue off their high horses. Anyone spending time and anger on this subject should take a minute to think about when they last purchased something based on where the item was made. Instead, they should be angry over the fact American Olympians are once again forced to wear funny hats." If more companies would manufacture in the USA we wouldn't be reading this article. And many look at where it was made, that's how we know it wasn't made here! And if all we should be concerned about is the funny hats...why bother with the Olympics at all? And it tends to by=pass the "you can't fight city hall" thing and show that yes, you can fight city hall and sometimes you can win! And hopefully it will show congress that the people of this country want their jobs back and the countrys status back and bring manufacturing home!

hi 3 snugglebunnies I would love to see A merica make the USAs OLYmpic team uniforms. I would love to see America make a lot more stuff right here in t he USA and put all the idle people back to work here in the USA.Forget China its still got all the crap but start going American in the USA. China will not lose but we will regain pride in the USA again .

dear I also watched that segment on the news.I beleive they should have made them in the united states it would repesent our country better . In my opinion more daily things should be USA made.but the news also said that the 2016 games will have USA made uniforms which does make me happy.
