Team USA 2024 Paris Olympics outfits blasted: bad getups glorified

Fashionably conscious Paris Olympic goers will no doubt mock our 2024 Summer Games wardrobe, as they should.

It still seems like it's 1984 all over again -- and we're not even talking about George Orwell -- but we wonder if it's time for legendary, original influencer/designer Ralph Lauren to pass the Olympic sartorial torch to someone else, perhaps a bit, um, younger.

Ralph Lauren has been designing the US Olympic team costumes since 2008 and it shows.

There’s probably something metaphorical here. America being stuck in the past…refusing to change…declining relevancy…etc etc https://t.co/sju3HhSmAI

Slate.com certainly thinks so and we agree.

Look, no offense, Ralph --he'll turn 85 in October -- but your haute couture is starting to become hated and it's certainly outdated.

Honestly, this, compared to what Mongolia is bringing?

Note, while there are women on the US Olympics team, I will be talking about this from the perspective of menswear because that's what I know.

First, let's review the main elements of the uniform: an unusually trimmed navy jacket, some blue jeans, and a pair of white shoes. pic.twitter.com/DVAUxgpLWL

Discuss.

Then get back to us on who should be the official designer for the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

There are lots of style options with top designers for Team USA to choose from... it's time.
