wow... i mean, it's better than spandex... but isn't it a little too casual?

This is terrible. It looks like someone who walked 'right off the job.' The last Olympic gear was WAY better. It was clean, white pinstripes. This isn't the sort of image I want from the Olympic Snowboard team. Maybe if we can rally enough we can get Burton to change it, after all, they're supposed to be representing us.

OK selling my 2010 halfpipe tix, not worth taking photo's of boarders in gear like this! :-)

Ha I'll buy them. I'm sure the riding will outweigh the uniform

Heheh, think I'll go myself, there are other countries then the US who'll compete ;-)

mmmmm not such a fan.

I agree with lawrence. It's kind of cas. Let's try to look 'classy' for the fucking Olympics. Whatever. They're just gonna have to shred twice as hard to make up for it.

I think my problem is just with the jeans look. Do pro athletes compete in jeans? No. They're gonna look like bros that go to the mountains for the beer and chicks.

Agreed, the jeans are a bad look...but what's even worse is how they tried to make them look thrashed!

I always had a problem w/ clothes coming off the rack looking worn-in. Let me do that myself.

And when you can see how the wear on the men's and women's jeans are in the exact same spots...it just looks like totally manufactured rebellion, or something. Super lame. Where's the individuality!

Pants should only look like jeans if they are IN FACT jeans. thank you.

The whole world is going to think the entire US Snowboarding team is from New Joysee
