U.S. Snowboarding unveils Sochi 2014 Olympic uniforms

Greg Dacyshyn, Chief Creative Officer at Burton Snowboards, said the following through a press release...

“We’re really proud that the 2014 uniform builds on Burton’s legacy of creating fun, unconventional designs that stray from the formal, traditional look of most uniforms. The vintage quilt and flag print of the jacket combined with the corduroy pants give the uniform a ‘heirloom hippie’ vibe that lines up with snowboarding’s laid-back culture while paying respect to America’s longstanding creative heritage. It will stand out in Sochi for sure.”

Burton has unveiled the 2010 U.S. Snowboard Team Uniforms and I must say they are pretty unexpected and pretty awesome at the same time. Well done...

"What's also brilliant is the technology infused in these two street wear-like pieces of apparel. Both the pants and jacket are made of waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex for maximum on-snow performance. We're not sure the chenille crest adds any superhero powers, but it sure looks nice. " Via.
