Remember when Roots was responsible for much of the world’s Olympic clothes? This beret? Well, it seems as if some Canadian greatness is still rubbing off on Team USA, with its just-released Sochi 2014 uniforms. Designed by Ralph Lauren (and fully produced on American soil to put an end to last year’s controversy), the closing ceremony jacket, for one, looks quite the ever-iconic Bay stripe featured similarly on this year’s Team Canada wares. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…

But more about us, right? Hudson’s Bay released the full Team Canada Sochi 2014 uniforms and collections yesterday to much excitement. Shot on gold medal skier Alexandre Bilodeau, snowboarder Caroline Calve, hockey star Drew Doughty and skier Kelsey Serwa, the collection features much of the typically patriotic hallmarks like the loon, the polar bear and the good old maple leaf. Also present, the slightly desperate “we can rule” bracelet that we’re sure will come in handy when we don’t touch Vancouver records. (Sorry kids, it just ain’t gonna happen).

Go Canada go! And stuff.
