Me too. I saw preppy, not military. GreenPartyVoter Jul 2012 #13

it reminded me of a 1930 chic actually. I want one of those berets. :D roguevalley Jul 2012 #39

It also would have worked with straw boaters. :^) GreenPartyVoter Jul 2012 #42

I was a little embarrassed for the athletes, actually. (lol) reformist2 Jul 2012 #16

Yep. Gross. RedCappedBandit Jul 2012 #41

LOL! HappyMe Jul 2012 #4

Bob Mackie...like this? pinboy3niner Jul 2012 #8

heehee! eShirl Jul 2012 #30

What branch is that? DURHAM D Jul 2012 #18

I'm no expert... MrsBrady Jul 2012 #19

I am guessing it is a school. DURHAM D Jul 2012 #20

I watched a fencing match between two Italian women today. That was extremely pugilistic. slackmaster Jul 2012 #24

i find it strange that you feel that way about the uniforms JI7 Jul 2012 #25

The Logo most prominent... Octafish Jul 2012 #26

That was really the one thing that bugged me. The Lauren logo. It's about the team and GreenPartyVoter Jul 2012 #28

it's two inches high elehhhhna Jul 2012 #33

If they'd kept the logo off xmas74 Jul 2012 #40

It's not a polo look. It's a yachting look. With a touch of equestrian. White pants/skirt... Honeycombe8 Jul 2012 #36

i know. I LOVE RL, although when the logo grew huge elehhhhna Jul 2012 #43

Me, too. Who buys those things with that awful logo? I've never seen anyone actually WEAR one. Honeycombe8 Jul 2012 #45

Of course it is! Paulie Jul 2012 #46
