U.S. Olympic team rolls out Closing Ceremony uniforms

The United States Olympic team has unveiled its Closing Ceremony uniforms for this year's Rio Olympics, and there's a profound nautical theme:

The uniforms are the creation of Ralph Lauren. Following a controversy over China-made uniforms in 2012, every element of the uniforms was made in the United States. The uniform's various components will be for sale on Ralph Lauren's website at a price of $49.50 to $350.

Here, via Ralph Lauren, are breakdowns of all the various uniform combinations:

At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Team USA's uniforms drew critical comparisons to ugly holiday sweaters. We'll await the public judgment on this year's model.
