Japan rocking its high school production of the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat uniforms. 

The Olympics are supposed to be a time for nations to come together and share in healthy competition. Unfortunately they are also a time for nations to embarrass themselves in front of millions of people by dressing athletes up in outfits so terrible that one can only assume they are a joke. Here are the best tweleve we had time to Google. 
 


Australia figures out how to make atheltes in peak physical condition look like your chubby stepdad.
 


The Italian women are actually all on their way to audition for Working GIrl.
 


Team USA finds a way to make students studying abroad not the most embarrassing foreign US presence.



Hungary figured out that nothing says, "fierce competitors" like "going to a garden party."
 


After New Zealand finishes marching, they'll be happy to tell you what tonight's specials are.



Finally something to feel superior to the French about just as they feel superior to us about everything.
 


Belize trying to convince us that Panama Jack is not from Panama.

 


Slovakia figured out how to make a fedora look even douchier: add a scarf!




Gay Communism at last!

    Can you also fix the misspelled word athletes. "Australia figures out how to make atheltes in peak physical condition look like your chubby stepdad."

    In the opening paragraph can you please fix the misspelled word twelve. "...are the best tweleve we had time to Google. "

    I bet that's where the Harry Potter costume designers got them from...

    Alykat, I wondered the same thing. France's very Beauxbatons looking outfits are from the 1976 Olympics.

    I actually thought the kiwi's looked pretty good... but Team USA? Really? Way to reinforce our global stereotype, guys!

    Were the France outfits before or after Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie came out?
