The U.S. Olympic team unveiled uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren for the July 27 opening ceremony at the London Olympics. The uniforms include navy-blue berets. At the 2002 Winter Games, powder-blue berets like those worn by U.S. athletes quickly sold out at Salt Lake City stores.

The team Tuesday unveiled buttoned-up, refined uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren for the July 27 opening ceremony at the London Olympics.
Men will wear navy-blue blazers with the Olympic-team patch, along with a red-and-navy tie and cream-colored pants. Women will pair the blazers with scarves and wear knee-length, cream-colored skirts.
All team members will top their uniforms with navy berets that have stripes.
In 2002, the U.S. team wore powder-blue berets at the Winter Olympics that became instant hits and quickly sold out at stores around Salt Lake City.
