Cool Uniform Props: U.S. Olympic snowboarding team


The navy and red plaid jackets and weathered jeans-styled pants designed by Burton for the U.S. snowboarders got a decent amount of press for being "out there." But looking at designs sported by some of the other nations' boarders (and, of course, Johnny Weir) and snowboarding kit in general, the 'Mericans' unis were almost staid in comparison.

Anyway you look at it, they were definitely cool.

The orange monster


Even if this photo features Nick Swisher of the considerably disliked New York Yankees, it's still a pretty cool photo with a color scheme appreciated here at Orange Whip.
