Much to be said for simplicity, no?

Holy crap they sold out! I can see if they were $90 and you were looking for a great bad sweater for next holiday season, but sold out at $600? That's just how crappy good they are ...

By the way, I'm punching anyone in the face that I meet wearing one.

Good grief! It looks like the US won a bad sweater contest! Is this really the image we want to project to the Soviets???

Something tells me my 1st cousin does not like these.
They look knitted, are they knitted ?
It's pretty eye catching anyway no terrorist can hide around them.

Hahaha.
How many American flags does that sweater have on it? Four? And I can't even see the back.

If that was a US speed skater, they should have embroidered that image on the ceremony sweater

I feel as if anyone spent 3 months training on the luge, they could be in the Olympics

Not three months, but there are definitely some sports that take a lifetime of training to gwt to the Olympics, and some sports that people can kind of just dump into and master in a short time if they have the natural ability. Some of those are rowing, swimming, luge, skeleton, cross country skiing, long distance running, bobsleigh.... plenty of others. Then there are the sports that you practically have to bred for and start as a child, like hockey and figure skating.
.... Either way, your chances of making the Olympics go up exponetially if you have lots of money and free time..... they love to make it look like the Olympics are crammed with athletes from humble roots and shit, but in reality it is mostly a bunch of elitist rich kids who think their self-obsession is somehow good for the world.
