Team USA’s Olympics uniforms for the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony were designed by Ralph Lauren.
The clothing company sent over 20 tailors to Paris to help custom fit the athletes for the ceremony. Ralph has been the official designer of Team USA since 2008, now outfitting the team for the ninth consecutive games.
Ralph had the Olympians wearing a “dark blue blazer with red and white trim” on the lapel, per GQ. They styled that alongside a striped shirt, a tie, and blue jeans.
While some appreciated the classic Americana fashion choices, others were not as impressed with the decision.
Some fans weren’t really feeling the look
