They are the pride of America - Team U.S.A. - and for the opening ceremonies of the Summer Olympics in London, they'll be proudly wearing red, white and blue, from beret to blazer.

Except in the case of any dictatorship, preferrably muslim, when they dip the President.

Great answer - hats off to you...
In the 60’s , I’ll never forget my best friend’s Dad buying him a new baseball glove that was Made In Japan . WE were all like : “ Made In Japan ? Bwahahahahaha ! “ From the 70’s onward the Japanese got the last laugh with Toyotas , Hondas , Nissans , Panasonic , Sony , Kawasaki , etc. etc. etc...
double breasted blazer ,white slacks / skirt are fine but WTF is on top of their heads ??? Get a white fedora with a 2inch brim . get rid of the idiotic beanie.
Nonsense!! No Italian fashion designer or Italian tailor with any self respect would make a outfit for a Italian Fascist Yacht Club with a goofy ass beanie when they can use a white fedora with a decent sized brim for the classic 30’s style.
