Although I love watching the Olympics, there is something that has always bugged me about them and the New York Times has hit nailed it on the head:
Sure, it’s easy to carp about the stuff athletes are forced to wear as they turn into branding machines. But isn’t it worth pointing out how Olympics style gets stranger with every edition of the Games? … And isn’t it fair, too, to ask why some of the best physical specimens on the planet, people with physiques most designers dream of dressing, are being crammed into get-ups that make them look like either refugees from “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” Hello Kitty cultists or Saturday morning cartoons?
