Well there's not much red in there, is there, bearing in mind hardly any athletes will be wearing long socks? Are we pandering to the Scots again?

Apparently it's a Stella McCartney design. Which shows what happens when you let someone who knows nothing about sport get involved.

In a pile of football shirts
Could be pandering to all the Plastic Brits in the team GB, trying not to make them feel out of place.

Suprised there aren't anti bacterial gloves in the kit to allow them to shake hands with other competitors without catching the lurgy off Johnny Foreigner.

I assume all the red got used up on the new England home shirt

What a mess. Makes us look like we're representing some tiny island republic.

Not quite as awful as the official 'Lisa Simpson' logo or that weird one-eyed mascot, but close.

What about the birds? As nice as that black chap is I want to see what tight little numbers the chicks will be skipping in.

People just complaining for the sake of it. I think it's EXCELLENT.

It's not meant to be an item you would wear out and about like a football shirt.

I'm pretty sure ANY design would be met with such a response as, in most cases, olympic kits are quite over the top visually.

Its basically a discombobulated flag which is awesome.
