Burton’s U.S. Olympic Team Uniform

Burton has unveiled the 2010 U.S. Olympic snowboard team uniform. The press release describes the uniform as “a fresh and progressive style while also managing to pay tribute to more classic Americana fashion staples. The pants seamlessly integrate the look of real, worn, vintage denim, and the jackets feature preppy plaids adorned with leather patches and chenille crests with both pieces incorporating the performance benefits of Gore-Tex fabric.” I have to say, while I’m not hot on the worn denim trousers, I really like the jacket. The uniform was created with the help of the team including; Elena Hight, Mason Aguirre, Danny Davis, Kevin Pearce, Jack Mitrani, Luke Mitrani, Steve Fisher, Scotty Lago, and Louie Vito. And I’ve read Burton is also supplying the official uniforms for the Chinese and Finnish snowboarding teams for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Check a few photos above and let us know what you think in the comments.
