The United States and Great Britain are marking 100 days until the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro by revealing some of the uniforms their respective teams will be wearing.
On the “Today” show on Wednesday morning, swimmers Ryan Lochte and Haley Anderson and wrestler Jordan Burroughs debuted Team USA’s closing ceremony looks. Ralph Lauren has been outfitting Team USA athletes for about 50 years, and once again made the opening and closing ceremony uniforms. Both men and women will wear red, white and blue boat shoes for the closing ceremony, while the opening ceremony ensembles have not yet been revealed.
