Now paul 178 is here to stay,
How I long for yesterday”:D

I probably recognise some of songs from overhearing them at places, though I wouldn’t be able to name the band/song 🙂

and I’m 25

Remember the clowns at Old Trafford allowing the team sponsors to insist on the team wearing a Grey Strip a few years back? Epic fail. They just blended into the multiple colours of the crowd behind.

And having a uniform you are proud of can also affect performance.
From all reports so far, the athletes are very proud of their uniforms. As they have to wear them, I submit that theirs is the final word. They’re happy, so lets leave it at that.

Besides, the uniform design has a lot more to do with Britain than that awfull 2012 logo.

The colouring of an athlete’s clothes isn’t going to make them jump higher, swim faster or run fast with flames behind them …

I totally disagree – many factors go into giving a top athlete a winning edge, however slight, and mental state must be one of the most powerful.
It’s well known that humans are affected by colours – green in hospitals for inducing calmness, reds and yellows for warning signs, etc.
Blue to me is a very passive, submissive colour, while red has connotations of aggression and danger.
Colours of materials can also influence muscle cooling or warming in certain conditions…

I thought I’d include a joke 😀

Not that I can actually name any of the songs, so I guess it’s not so inaccurate, at least from my perspective 😉

“She isn’t really a professional fashion designer either, she just happens to have some singer as her father who sold a few records once…”

A few songs?

Did I ever say it would? 😀

@paul178
The thread? No, unfortunately it’s not a joke. I don’t think it’s a big ask that the kit reflect the majority of the country, and it’s not that difficult to do 🙂

Unless, it’s a team sport.
And the colours blend into the background and cannot be picked out by team members.

As someone not from the Isles, let me say that this design is instantly recognisable as being British. So I would not complain about that. Instead, just complain about the design. This looks more like a clown costume to me. But I ain´t a professional fashion designer, and I buy most my clothing from C&A, so what do I know about fashion.

I like a lively discussion and my main reason in contributing on this thread is to gently wind up our friends in skirts. This is now losing its way over the Swastika and has nothing whatever to do with this thread. I do not like #16 at all. I am sure ppp meant this as a joke but I am afraid I am not laughing!

Thousands of years of existence in cultures far older than Germany….

The Pictish tribes of Scotland used the swastika a lot over a thousand years ago on their carved standing stones – here’s one in Peebles, bottom left…

[QUOTE=ppp;1871905]I’m glad you agree manipulating the flag is unacceptable,

Yes, your dead righht there, Personaly I dont give a monkeys what colour, or even if they perform naked.
I just don’t think that was appropriate to overlay our Union flag, with a symbol that was bound to draw adverse comments.
The Olymics will go ahead, regardless of what we say on here, regardless of colour clothing.BEN;)

Hi Twin Otter. Two of my Grandchildren who attend two different schools, sadly do not have History lessons as we did when we were at school. Those who attended the Museum were very fortunate.
