Speaking of which.........

TIME Magazine ranks Jamaica's Olympic uniforms among the best

<span style="font-style: italic">Tuesday, July 17, 2012</span><span style="font-size: 17pt">TIME Magazine has ranked the Jamaica Olympic uniforms designed by Cedella Marley among the best in the world.</span>
The Jamaican uniforms are listed with France, South Korea, New Zealand, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom.

“We love these uniforms, mostly because the designers didn’t seem to be trying too hard,” the writer said of the Jamaican designs. “The vivid colours and geometric colours are so fun! Just like the Olympics!”

The worst rated were the USA, Australia, Russia, China, Spain and Hong Kong.

FW: JAMAICA, the NEXT WORLD POWER


Sprinter Usain Bolt and an unidentified model display Jamaica's Olympic Games Opening Ceremony outfit.



TIME Magazine listed their Worst and Best Opening Ceremony outfits for this year's Olympics, and Jamaica has been voted as the BEST.

http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20120718/sports/sports3.html

TIME had this to say of the Cedella Marley-designed Jamaican gear: &quot;We love these uniforms, mostly because the designers didn't seem to be trying too hard. The vivid colours and geometric colours are so fun! Just like the Olympics!&quot;



This comes short of the recent shock at the fact that the Ralph Lauren United States Olympic gear was made in China.



The festive, island-vibed PUMA Jamaican Olympic team wear was designed by Cedella Marley, daughter of the legendary King of Reggae Bob Marley.



So is this a foreshadowing of what is to come? We will see ... Congrats to Cedella and her team and PUMA ... taking the Jamaica to the world IN Class and Style.

The total results were as follows: BEST - Jamaica, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, South Korea.



WORST - USA, Australia, Russia, China, Spain, Hong Kong.
