Jamaican team Olympic outfits - Thumbs up or down?

Thumbs down... except for his shoes.

The woman look like she's being outfitted for military school. I can't get pass the Portia Simpson look alike thing with the hairstyle and the style of clothes. Bolt look like her overgrown son....

Not appealing.

That makes three of us.... My reation was mi did tink Portia was talla

I assume that is for the parades ?As funny as it seems that is too colourful....classical lines with a hint of colours makes a more powerful statement... also these are atheletes with superlative bodies... But dem shoulda mek some cyar tyre shupata.. and highlight the jamaican histrortical reuse and recycling traditions....

Wig? I didn't even notice. Is that part of the uniform? It really does look like Portia fi true.

Wasn't this designed by Bob Marley's daughter...man things change in a generation. But then despite his talks about being Rasta and liking things natural, he did seem to prefer women who were all dolled up.

Come to think of it, the man's shirt looks like what Jamaican boys where to go to school except the school uniforms are in khaki.

So I guess I'm the only one really digging it. Love the retro but forward looking vibe, love the military style jacket(Bob would be proud) and I especially love the track gear that pays homage to Arthur Wint. Best Olympic kit for Team Jamaica by far. Cedella done good.

Is whole heap a different outfit based on occasion - medal presentation, track gear etc. When everybody see it on the big screen later this month you will all likely change your minds. It stands out I think in a good way.
