Here’s how much the uniforms cost:
Men:
Beret – $55
Tie – $125
Belt – $85
Shirt – $425
Blazer – $795
Trousers – $295
Shoes – $165
Women:
Beret – $55
Scarf – $58
Belt – $85
Shirt – $179
Skirt – $498
Blazer – $598
The committee said: “The U.S. Olympic team is privately funded and we’re grateful for the support of our sponsors. We’re proud of our partnership with Ralph Lauren, an iconic American company.”
We the people, request that when our treasured Athletes represent our nation, by doning the Red, White & Blue, it would be designed by Americans, produced by Americans, for Americans.
Patriotism should be be first priority for Team USA, irrespective of public or private funding.
We, the undersigned, call on the U.S. Olympic Committee to dress Team USA in clothes with the label "Made In USA".
