RALPH LAUREN OLYMPIC DUD

Ralph Lauren Corp. makes the pledge in response to criticism over the fact that the U.S. Olympic team's uniforms for 2012 were made in China.


Designer Ralph Lauren announced Friday that the uniforms it provides the US Olympic team at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, will, in fact, be made in the United States.

The US uniforms for the London Games were made in China, which sparked congressional criticism of the US Olympic Committee.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the USOC should be "ashamed of themselves" and Rep. Steve Israel, D-NY, called the decision "not just outrageous, it's just plain dumb. It is self-defeating."

Ralph Lauren initially declined comment on the criticism, but 24 hours later announced clothes for future Olympics would be made in the United States.

Ralph Lauren has an apparel contract with the USOC through 2020.

Funny shit, these two young girls don't know what they are talking about when it comes to fashion garments. They should have called me to give them the run down on a classic Ralph Lauren Olympic look.
