Everyone’s talking about Russia’s anti-gay laws ahead of the Sochi Winter Olympics. They’re also talking about the German team’s uniforms, which make them look like human rainbows.

With everyone anticipating boycotts and protests, could the Germans have just fired the first friendly shot?

Despite the German Olympic Sports Confederation stating that the uniforms are “not a protest,” they had to have known that rainbows are a popular symbol of the gay rights movement.

Or maybe they thought the bright colors would stand out on the white slopes? Or better yet, they’re sponsored by Skittles.

Well, no everyone is not talking about Russia's anti-gay laws but still, you gotta love those uniforms. Protest or not, they are hilarious :lol:

Woo! Go Germany! i have seen a lot of ugly uniforms though. Some red and white zig zag one, but I can't remember who. Blech. I also don't understand the Mexican ski one.

Dos Equis is also a German thing from Mexico. Nom.

Edit: Found it. Norwegian curlers. They look like 70s gigolos. Crossed with Sesame Street. Or something.

What is going on? Is this an all out effort to embarrass elite sports people?


Have to admit, it's amusing though. it's like the uniform designers are on some kind of mission, but what?

I think that it's an effort to get more air time. With more air time, the athletes get more notoriety, and more chances to be in commercials and get money.

That's certainly a possibility on the all publicity is good publicity theory and that would certainly explain the Mexican skier uniform, I can't imagine he's actually in with a chance of a medal.
