Not Made in the USA: U.S. Losing Out on Olympic Clothing
August 6, 2012

Team USA may be winning a number of gold medals in the London Olympics, but when it comes to official Olympic clothing, the U.S. is losing out. The U.S. Olympics Team is selling thousands of items of clothing online sporting the official U.S. Olympic logo that are not made in the USA. 

More than 300 of the 345 items for sale on the U.S. Olympic Team's website were made overseas. The Ralph Lauren T-shirts were made in the Philippines. A Ralph Lauren beret with the Olympic insignia, also for sale on the website, was made in China.

Unfortunately, my material is not “Be Dazzled” appropriate, but being that it’s mid-2012, you’ve probably heard it all anyway.
