Seems to be a bit of controversy surrounding this , "only in Britain" as the saying goes.

Personally I think it's a little drab!!! It just looks dull and boring IMHO but I certainly don't take offence to the lack of red! I think it would have been more appropriate to have a little more vibrancy and exclusivity to it..... Just believe thiat we will not stand out from the whites or blue teams colours like the French and the States! Dreary design Stella!! Shame coz I generally love your Adidas stuff

I like it - typical Daily Mail trying to whip up a controversy as they are determined to brand the Olympics as failure There is probably a lot more red than the traditional GB kit that was white with thin red and blue side stripes Nobody is going to care about the exact percentage of red, white and blur when the Gold medals are decided!!! ;) <em>edited by Puffinlunde on 23/03/2012</em>

I'm with Joyce and Natasha. I think they look good. Bit like the BA plane tails which were controversial back in the day (can't remember which day - Bliar times, perhaps?). ~Gosh I remember that ....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4g8zwVfPAI (i can't get the sound to work on my pc but you may be able to hear what she said)

Pish posh its tosh. What is it with the Uk that they cant be proud of who they are. Give in to it now and before you know it our national identity (not the daily mail one, the real one) will be erased.

SwissSandy, I love it :) It reminded me of this radar trap in Geneva, which I know well :) http://madsurfer.skyrock.com/181033803-Delire-&-caps-Gare-aux-fromages-geants-au-bord-des-routes-suisses-ce.html

It looks like it could be an American team or any other country that has red, white and blue. Nothing British about it. And what's up with the ugly knee socks? <em>edited by Macallan on 23/03/2012</em>

I quite like it, just a bit too much navy blue on the bigger items maybe. Anyway nothing can be as bad as what the Swiss downhill team used to be about 10-15 years ago: cheese jumpsuit. Here's a picture to make you jealous ;) http://stfestside.wordpress.com/category/events-outside/

I only like it in the bikini but not the others - too much blue.

The Union Jack is really just monochromatic in the design...

I really like the BG uniforms. Olympic uniforms are always controversial and never seem to be like the flag anyway - Australians are always in green and gold and that's nothing to do with our 'proper' flag. The idea of them is for them to be unique and unlike any other country.

I actually think it looks fine, a modern slant on the Union Flag (is only called a Jack when flown from a ship) and there is red on other parts of the outfits. There were loads of pink union flags around during the Royal wedding for some reason!

Hate it! Defeats the object of the Union Jack if the entire thing is blue.

Stella looks like she's wearing pajamas.
