Sochi fashion wars – the best and worst national uniforms

As usual the Olympics have produced some shockers and some winners in the fashion stakes already before an athlete has even walked into the stadium.

Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe is a lucky Mexican. As the second oldest Winter Olympian in history and the sole team member in the Mexico Olympic Team he gets to wear this as his ski racing uniform. Yes laydeez he is a real Prince.

This has got to win the best outfit for Sochi before the Winter Olympics have even started.

We know that the Americans have to endure wearing this Ralph Lauren monstrosity circa 1920 college pep rally when entering the stadium at the Opening Ceremony so there’s definitely no competition there.

Though not sure why Australian brand Roxy have done the women’s. I’m expecting an HQ move to Moscow and a rebrand from Roxy to Tetyana if all goes well.
