Team GB Kit - Union flag altered

[Palfrem]

BBC News - London 2012: Team GB McCartney Olympic kit revealed

What does the team think?

I wonder how many other countries would stand for this?

 

[Dryce]

First impression is that something went wrong in the wash.

Second impression is that it's uninspiring.

Third impression is just thanks that it's nowhere near as bad as that grotty awful Olympic logo.

So basically it's bland and not as bad as it could have been.

Wonder how much it cost

It doesn't exactly scream 'WINNER!!!' does it...nice wishy-washy pastel - and no red?

herrumph

Put it this way. I bet the jocks wouldn't have let them get rid of all the blue.

Bloody awful.

Any deviation from the Union Flag's normal colours should be considered treasonable.

... and that's from a 'jock'

"Asked about the criticism, McCartney told the BBC: "I wanted to start with the union flag, but I'm really aware the reds, whites and blues are in other nations' flags and sometimes you can feel quite confused when you are watching the Games... is that American, is that French?"

All that 'bleu' makes it look pretty French to me...

What other countries do you think of when someone says 'red white and blue'?

Write your telephone number down, then put a £ sign in front that will be close enough.

Couldn't organise an Olympics in London spring to mind. Still expect much back patting, awards and medals for money wasting to follow.

Oh ffs she actually bloody is McCartneys daughter...must have been the sheer brilliance of the work that got her the job then

 

[LTD]

Let's hope that they don't get Gok Wan to design the relay baton ...

I've gone colour blind...I thought the necks in all the tops were red.

So not the fact that she's an Internationally acclaimed fashion designer then?

 

[wemorgan]

Neither good nor bad. If they start winning medals, no one will care

 

[MOCAŠ]

I don't mind the stylised use of the flag. What bothers me is the sheer inconsistency across the designs. On one, the flag is centred; in others it's offset to the right, but to varying degrees. Some bear the "Great Britian" legend, others don't. One design has the Addidas logo incorporated, on the others it sits outside the design. What a shower!

Dreary, Drab, Dismal, Disrespectful & Disgraceful

 

[JOB-BLACK-RAT]

yes a little dull in taste but....

The tighter the lycra, the wider the smile!

Yeah about 5mm wide..and the socks, don't forget the socks...

 

[balge]

Not based on the tat on her site...which is mainly blue and grey unsurprisingly

That's bad posture, that is...
