Ok, so I know a lot of you dont care about sports fashion, but this was just a thread to get the Olympic talk rolling...

Anyone that is a sports fan, is into sports fashion, whether they want to believe it or not.

I don't understand the people that think they can judge others for wearing a jersey. Jim Rome always says, "You should't wear a jersey if you're older than 10 years old". I say, "You don't have the right to judge me". I ain't no fool. I know when to dress for what occasion. I'm not gonna wear a Dale Murphy throwback to a job interview. But if its a normal day and normal occasions are going on, I am going to wear what I'm comfortable in. If I feel comfortable in one of my jerseys that day, I just might put on a jersey and go. I might not feel comfortable in a jersey, so I might put on a polo or a white tee. Either way, its my choice, and if somebody doesn't like me for me, I don't need them.

I wish the USSR was still around because they were such a fun rival to have in the Olympics.

Not a big fan of those jackets. I guess I am more a traditionalist. No need for the fading blue to white and really don't like the fact that the fading is different in each jacket. I think Nike tries to overdo it (i.e. duck feathers on football unis). Why not a solid blue jacket with USA in red? Just my 2 cents.

Am looking forward to the olympics, though. I suspect the opening ceremony won't quite live up to Beijing. That was a great spectacle.

No way skullandbones.

I'm a USC fan, not a Cal fan haha.

*In terms of sports*, I liked the rivalry of USA (capitalism) vs. USSR (communism).

I really like that NBC is using the song "One Day" by Matisyahu to soundtrack their commercials. It makes for a beautiful anthem. Matisyahu is my dude. Saw him in concert last summer in Milwaukee.
