Even before the Olympic torch was lit in London, there were calls for Team USA's uniforms to be thrown onto a bonfire. It wasn't just that Ralph Lauren, who created the outfits for the United States, had topped them off with a beret. Rather, it was that the all-American designer's Olympic collection was made in China. "I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile, and burn them and start all over again," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told ABC News. Ralph Lauren has promised American-made uniforms for the 2014 Winter Games.
With team collections by Stella McCartney, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Prada, Hermès, and others, there's a whole new competition in London.
