We are just 17 days away from the London 2012 Olympic Games and we are finally getting our first look at what the US Olympic Team USA will be wearing to the Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 27.
Just like the US Olympic Team USA Closing Ceremony uniforms, the Opening Ceremony uniforms were designed by American Icon, designer Ralph Lauren. While the closing ceremony uniforms are more relaxed and give off a semi-casual feel, the look for the opening ceremony is very different.
The men’s Team USA uniform there are classic navy double-breasted blazers, white suit pants and a red, white and blue ties. The women of Team USA will be sporting white knee length skirts, navy blazers, and a red, white and blue scarf. Both the men and women will wear navy berets with red, white and blue stripe.
