Olympic kit.. no red?

Unfortuantely I don't believe representing your country should have anything to do with marketing but obviously I am sadly deluded.

You missed my point, which was that the flag is eminently recognisable in any colours, a fact many companies use by applying their colours/brand to it.

Most countries don't even have their flag on their kit, stop whinging.

You're in a chirpy mood today. When it comes down to it, nothing to do with recreation or fun is 'important'.

On a cosmic level mankind isn't important...

Kind of ironic that the only country that is represented with blue in the union flag could be the one that leaves the union.

I like it though.

We are all stardust...

It's just that some bits are more dense than others...

Had a look at the story behind the Caption Comp thread and frankly it makes my blood boil.. The 2012 logo is crap, the welcome gear is crap and then a kit I don't recognise or relate to. WTF is going on??

Anyone else have thoughts on a kit that doesn't represent our flag?

Compared to the logo, and especially the mascots and official merchandise, I think we've got away lightly.

It is clearly two gay men's willies, dancing the dance of queer sword fighting, in front of a gay rainbow.

They just kidnapped a couple of gays off a milk float at gay pride, cheaper that way.

I have some questions about the guy 2nd from the left.

Is tossing dwarves an olympic sport? And what are the chances of some olympic themed interracial midget clown porn?

Hehehehe funnily enough I was going to comment twice or thrice on that image and agree with you.

One comment would have been, what is up with the midget? Is he a drinks table for the others to rest their glasses on?

NB: I think the midget might be a she. If so, very scary!

Also what on earth is up with the guy on the left? Notice how every other guy has a normal crotch bulge/camel toe. Then on him, you can obviously see a ball of socks stuffed down there.

Also that black guy in the middle reminds me of Mike Teavee (kid in willy wonka that gets stretched out) ...

It's good to see from this thread that the London 2012 committee have done an excellent job of making everybody understand that the Paralympic Games are just as important as the ones with the fit women playing volleyball in bikinis on a pretend beach

I have to confess that when I first looked at the picture I thought they were all paralympians.

I couldn't disagree more. If something isn't fun, what's the point? Life is too short to spend it doing things you don't enjoy.

Edit: This is also aimed at Nick. Just because you don't like sport doesn't mean it's not important.
