You wonder who makes these decisions.

Team USA To Be Decked Out in Uniforms Made in China

Every item in the uniforms that the U.S. athletes will be wearing at the opening ceremony in London will carry an overseas label.

Nanette Lepore, one of the top U.S. fashion designers, said she was shocked that none of the uniforms had been made in the states. Further, Lepore said that it was "absolutely" possible that the athletes could have been outfitted in U.S.-made clothing. She said U.S. manufactures could have easily made the uniforms - and for less.

Is this really news? They are probably flying over the England on a plane assembled in the USA of many foreign parts. They are probably taking their Ipods/pads/phones with them......all manufactured in Asia, etc. It seems to me it's just a report designed to get a few people worked up about silly stuff.

Totally agree. Who cares about where a goofy uniform is made that they wear one time for a parade. Bigger story would be where the athletes competing shoes were made.
