Olympic team outfits

Some time ago the UK team outfit was introduced (could not locate original thread) and I said I disliked the design its cyclists will wear.

Yesterday the US Olympic committee introduced its outfits: dark blazers, white throusers, and dark berets; this looks terible I thought (along with much of the media). However the outfits the US cyclists will wear in competition looks pretty good. http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/usa-olympic-team-kits-unveiled

I just saw Australia's cycling team uniform on the new sand it is very similar to the one below:

Don't we already have a jersey thread in the Pro Road Racing section?

Anyways, I think Netherlands outfit might look really cool on the bike.

Yeah I didn't say it was accurate, but it looks good IMO. Wouldn't look any worse with the conventional colourscheme admittedly.

The quarter flag looks ridiculous in my opinion. Some of the kits have half-flags, which look much better. I think the navy/light blue scheme looks nicer than blue and red.

Hm, I like the quarter flag - minimal.

I notice the Aussie kit is supplied by Adidas. Does anyone know if they will have access to the super slippery skin suits developed for SKY/Team GB?
