Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 OMG!! I think it is very colorful - you have to get used to the orange trousers for the female athletes (I think that is the outfit for the opening-/closing ceremony) The colours have some similarities to the colours of Munich 1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox334 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 This is somehow even uglier than what Germany had for Vancouver O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't think it's that bad, though. I liked that they're using the brand of Munich '72 in their outfits. Although I agree it looks much better with black pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenadian Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I don't see how Munich 2022 will win with those eyesores. Given the state of Olympic branding, Munich will be a shoo-in for 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 They went with the shocking pink to match the London 2012 branding, and now they've gone with the rainbow flag to match the theme of Sochi's Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 nations of the world, take note: here's a winter parade outfit that just plain works. 7.5/10, with room for improvement. pro: sensible, fitted wool coat with ivory turtleneck peek hits all the right notes. (splash of gray on the collar is a brilliant touch). con: they'd never get near the newport social set with those white pants a mere five months after labor day. besides, there's nothing a pair of slimming black pants can't fix. also, it's all about the accessories. black leather gloves would have really made a statement, but what can you do? still head and shoulders over almost everyone else. take a tip from iceland. if you have to wear fleece (you DON'T have to wear fleece), do it with black pants. plus, the more black you wear the more intimidating you look. i can't take anyone in yellow seriously.

mattygs Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 The New Zealand team revealed their casual uniform a month or two ago, the ceremonial uniforms to be kept under wraps until just before the opening ceremony. Whereas the Germans have gone for the candy pride look, the Kiwis appear to have taken an x games / terrorist look. haha. I do like them though. They also revealed a *monsie* a onesie made from merino wool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 I can't imagine the Kiwis walking around sleeveless in Sochi - but I do love the style!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattygs Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 haha. Indeed. Im not sure what that's all about, I imagine buried under a number of layers. Sex sells for the launch maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Sex sells for the launch maybe. yeah - definitely!!! One sentence about the German colourful outfit - I think the German outfitter tend to the "not boring outfits" for the ceremonies... I didn't like the baby pink and the baby blue for London, but the team was easily do identify in the crowd of athletes during the ceremonies, due these colors...

Olympian2004 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 My head still has to recover from those garish colours of the German ceremonial outfit - but I like that classic "black suits" outfit for official events. And it's interesting that they seem to reference Sochi's Look of the Games in the design of the sleeves of the white/black-red-gold competition jackets. And do you know why Magdalena Neuner can be seen between the two athletes or models with the knitted caps on their heads (third picture from above)? It's because she designed those caps. Neuner was known as avid knitter already when she was still an active athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 To get a better impression - just watch the video (there are some small interviews in between), but it is interesting how the colourful outfit looks when the people are moving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
