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.
Never heard of Katie Moon but I'm a fan now.
WTF?? Katie has been Olympic and World Champion in the Pole Vault.
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.
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.
Man, no. Women can make their own decisions. Your thinking is why women in some cultures end up in niqabs. I would never wear this, but it is one of many options. Presuming you're a man - which may be wrong, but many of the men making this assertion in the Insta comments are saying something similar - you should have ZERO input into what Nike supplies (unless you're a designer). Your white knighting is more misogynist than you think.
This isn’t the first time Des and Lauren have gotten into a social media “debate“.
A few years ago Des commented that when someone tells her she looks “fit” she takes that as a complement to let her know she’s training hard. Of course, Lauren chimed in and started painting it as a patriarchy, going along with the narrative, misogynistic, yada yada bullshlt stuff She always goes to. Des fired right back calling out her bullshlt.
What do I think? I can't wait to see Keely in it. Like, I literally can't wait.
Who’s gonna tell him?
In fairness, Team GB is also Nike or at least has been lately. The USA and GB jerseys in the last WC cycle were the same general design as one another, same stripe patterns and same cuts, just with some of the colors flip-flopped. If that is the actual design of the US jersey, Keely will wear something very similar.
Also, I guess I didn't have a former pro athlete repeatedly writing "constant pube vigilance" on my bingo card for this or any other year. I do note that Fleshman has decided to join most other modern women who are safely ensconced in a relationship with a man on the "I'm totally queer, you guys" train.

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.
