How embarrassing! And take a look at these prices! Almost $2000 for a uniform. I saw one article claiming the blazers alone cost almost $800. "The Team USA ceremony beret is $55; the classic fit shirt is $89.50; the tie is $125;
the men's double breast blazer is $795; the belt costs $85; flat front men's trousers are $295; and the shoes are $165."
Team USA uniforms are made in China - Live5News.com | Charleston, SC | News, Weather, Sports I'm sorry, but you can get a hand made one from Italy for that price. Now I KNOW the Chinese people who made these uniforms were not paid half of the retail. So who's making all the money here? Ralph.
Let's see, if it were me, and my company got the HONOR of producing the US Olympic uniforms, I would offer to do it for FREE! The honor in doing the job alone is worth the payment. And not only that, but to have the bragging rights afterwards as well!
Never cared for RL label. Now even worse in my book.
