I loved the uniforms at Athens. These aren't even Red White and Blue. They're navy and royal blue! (By the way-- I saw some people complaining about speed suits in the comments for the weekend post-- get over it. It's a standard track uniform. The LZR swimsuits are ugly too, but no one cares about that). They just showed the USA Track and Field Uniforms for the Olympics and they are UGLY! I loved the uniforms at Athens.

It appears to have a stylized version of the flag on it. A real eyesore.

Eastbay had a red BlueJays cap for this flag thing that was previously linked earlier today that wasn't trying to force American ideals on a Canadian brand. Since this blog ran today, though, that picture has since switched to the blue one with the stars/stripes MLB logo that is on sale through MLBShop. Its pretty obvious what is happening. Looks like it was originally set up so that the Canadian team wouldn't have to wear stars and stripes on that hat and they would have a hat that was strictly for their own country and heritage, but the high ups at MLB thought they couldn't let this happened, so they decided to force the American brand on them. Unreal. Just another example of the American flag becoming more of a corporate logo than a nationalistic symbol. Disgusting You know what, I think I just noticed something.

Eastbay apparently corrected a mistake or something, because you now have it linked to a blue cap with the Toronto logo with Canadian flag, but with the stars and stripes MLB logo on the back... http://a712.g.akamai.net/7/712/225/v20061013eb/www.eastbay.com/images/products/zoom/07045301_z.jpg So about that BlueJays cap…
