SOME FOLKS AT THE OLYMPICS WERE NOT PLEASED WITH RALPH LAUREN’S DISPLAY OF POLO EXHIBITIONISM:

The American Politics Journal had a lot to say about the Ralph Lauren jackets in the opening ceremony. “The Olympics should be purely a sporting event and that they're "not a place for blundering materialism." They added: "I propose that along with drug testing labs, we have logo-testing experts who make certain the logos are hidden."

While most in attendance were mesmerized by the over-the-top opening ceremony, others were taking issue with the uniforms Ralph Lauren designed for U.S. team members to wear during the opening ceremony.

The American Politics Journal was upset because the little white horse on the jackets was too big and distracted from the Olympic logo. They accused Lauren of "morphing our athletes into unpaid billboards for the 'Polo' pony and rider."

According to Noelle Hancock, “Personally, we thought the American athletes looked kind of nice, a little Gatsby, but hey! We would've thought the 2,008 drummers, the thousands of Chinese men in those boxes — or, you know, the guy in the space suit — would have visually distracted from the silly rings, but if you want to put the blame on a pony shirt, okay.”

I always thought those large polo horses were a bit of fashion over-kill, but it takes all kinds to win a fashion marathon. And if you want to shout to the world that you can afford a cotton T-shirt that costs as much as your parents first car, go ahead. I always learned that “less is more.”

The GOOD NEWS is that they are all wearing caps. And that is a win-win for us all.
