Validation

I was validated in my blog post from yesterday today when I opened my Yahoo! homepage and saw this article by Chris Chase. Preach it!

And another Nike fail podium pic from the Olympics. Apparently the medal jackets for the outdoor events are different than the cement gray indoor jackets that I spoke of yesterday. And, hold your breath, they are even uglier! Ahhh, the horror. Care to guess what color they are?!?
Burnt. Orange.

All together now-Ewwwwwww!!! I mean, really Nike. C'MON! In comparison to these burnt orange babies, yesterday's gray jackets look stunning. Maybe that was their plan all along.

So sorry outdoor medalists. We know that this is the Olympics and not a University of Texas medal ceremony. Maybe someone needs to clue Nike in to our country's colors?

Go Red, White and Blue!

USA Fail.

As you know, I am an avid Olympics watcher/devotee. Team USA all the way baby!
However, I have a bone to pick. 

Dear USA Olympic Association, 
Why, oh why, did we okay the drab Nike podium suits for this year's Olympics? They are hardly stylish, but worst of all, they are hardly patriotic! Last I checked cement grey wasn't a color on our flag. Thank goodness you thought to add the small "USA flag patch" to the shoulder, otherwise, how would we recognize which country was standing atop the podium? Nike hardly disappoints, but this was one major miss that needs to be avoided in the future.
Sincerely,
A disgruntled American Olympic fan.

Case in point-our Gold medal winning Women's Gymnastics Team today right after they received their medals...
At least it looks good against the bright pink gymnastics stadium that London chose for their venue, haha. I'm just sayin' ;)

Go team USA!
