Vancouver 2010 Review

Ok, so here’s what happened. I meant to write a nice comprehensive review of the Vancouver Olympics from a graphics point of view. Somehow, February became May (almost June) and I’m finally conceding defeat. It’s not gonna happen. So here instead is my super-quick review.

I like Canada’s team gear, which somehow uses Avant Garde effectively:

The Russian Curling team are pretty hot:

Flag ski suits are tacky:

    Some of the best team Canada merch we’ve had in a while. Super hard to get a hold of here as well.

    I wish American would stop trying to shove it’s flag in everything they do. There has to be some other device they can go to other then the tired stars and stripes look, which inevitably looks awful.
