Is it just me and my wife, or do all the US mogul skiiers look like they’re wearing kiddie pajamas? All the other countries managed to make theirs look like ski outfits or at least track suits. But with the sky blue and a zillion stars with the loose cut, it looks like all the US competitors rolled out of bed and jumped on the slope. This is especially true when they’re standing on the medal dais. We enjoy watching the games but this is driving my wife crazy. :dubious: ---

I totally thought they looked like PJs. Hannah Kearney was adorable in her PJ uniform with her two stalks of hair sticking out of her helmet. 🙂 ---

This was exactly the observation my wife and I made. “Damn, those ski suits look like pajamas!!!” ---

For snowboarding, that actually seems kind of appropriate.
