i would be on the side of the complainers if that was the women's only option. but they always have several different options for coverup. if you don't realize that, you probably aren't really paying attention to the sport. or you're just looking for something to b1tch about.

They're cool. USA just has a crappy color scheme compared to some other countries. I love my red white and blue, but throw them all together on a singlet and it can look kinda gross. The Kenya kits are pretty sweet.
As for the women's uniform, I still haven't seen a Nike runner say anything negative about it. And if it really bothers them, there will be like 5 alternative options for the athletes to wear. Trim your pubes or wear the bikini bottoms. Nike isn't holding a gun to their runner's heads forcing them to wear this.
"Uniform unveiling" is just for marketing, and I'm sure this is exactly the reaction they were hoping for. The real irony here is that lots of women runners on twitter have a very negative response to how "revealing" the women's uniform is, but I GUARANTEE Sha'Carri will rock this with confidence and T&F fans on twitter will go absolutely crazy over it.
The USA uniform that I liked best was the 1987 World Championships blue. ...which was followed by their performance-reducing nightmare 1988 Seoul Olympics USA uniform.

I liked the 87 unis as well. Calvin Smith winning the 200 coast to coast in lane 8 probably wasnt as visible in the lighter blue.
Im a bigger fan of navy blue jersey with red lettering and white bottoms. An updated 68 Mexico City version would be cool.

Agreed. I’ll always be a fan of the all-white bottoms.
I’m too lazy to research this myself, but when was the last time the USA uniforms mismatched the jersey/shorts colors? That’s always been my favorite look. From the top of my head it’s been at least 3 decades since we’ve seen that.

The fact that it exists at all is enough reason to say something, even if no one's being forced to wear it.
Like someone in the instagram comments said, someone should just go full pube and wear that outfit to make a point.

Can’t find the tweets, but some female Nike athletes posted photos of them wearing the new “revealing” uniforms
Uniforms look like every other kit from prior years. It was just weirdly fitted to the mannequin. And yes, as always the females athletes confirmed there are multiple alternative versions that can be worn.
The guys have to worry about their junk flapping around and being on display so its equal opportunity shaming all the way around. If they have options then it doesn't matter.
I expect apologies from everyone that tried to shame Nike for “sexualizing” their athletes.
She does say the new version is higher cut but that she finds it the most comfortable version yet. I wonder if the seams on the shoulder will look not as good as the one she's wearing here though.
What did Des say on Lauren Fleshman's instagram? That they have choices? Cause Des usually wears shorts.
Standard bikini shorts are an option. Spandex are an option. Shorts are an option. Longer half tights are an option. Full length tights are an option. Sweat pants are an option.
This has always been the case. It’s clear the average person has never watched early round heats at the Olympics.
