Spanish Olympians Right to Be Embarrassed About Awful Uniforms
Style, swagger and confidence will not accompany Spain on its trip to London. The entire country is hanging their collective heads as Olympians will be dressed like they stood over exploding ketchup and mustard bottles.
The men and women who will compete for national pride look like they should be working at a food stand in the mall, and it makes me sad.
Hell, it makes them sad.

Much was made about the American uniforms to be worn during the Opening Ceremony, and how they were made in China.
Well, my fellow Americans, at least they don't look like this (h/t CBS Sports).
That would be gold-medal winning canoeist Saul Craviotto, who tweeted the following when posting this picture.
"En casa probándome la ropa de los JJOO!yo mejor no opino, os lo dejo a vosotros... twitter.com/Saul_Craviotto…

Craviotto would best let the picture do the talking.
Field hockey player Alex Fabregas offers that there is simply not enough adjectives, via Twitter.
"Equipació olímpica, sobren els adjectius... twitter.com/AlexFabregas/s…

You see, Spain outsourced its uniforms as well, even the design of it. The whole ordeal is brought to you by the Russian design firm Bosco.
Too bad that's not the chocolate drink, because at least that would be tasty.
Instead, the whole of Spanish Olympians will be on TV in front of the world looking like a bunch of hot dogs at a picnic.
Many, including Spanish Olympic Committee president Alejandro Blanco, are defending these by claiming they were free and saved the nation some bucks.
Not sure it was a deal though.
"When you measure the difference between paying one and a half million of public money and free clothes, there is no discussion.
"
Yes, there is. There's a rampant debate and a world filled with people that would also like to laugh in your general direction.
The hardest part of the Olympics for Spain, it seems, will be the Opening Ceremony, when they meander out of the tunnel looking like clowns.
Follow me on Twitter for updated haha's.
