US Rio Leo

[HoldThePhone]

Saw this thought I'd share. I really like it..can't quite tell but it looks like the sleeves are mesh. Doesn't look like all the rhinestones would be super comfortable, but they're mostly toward the top. Looks very pretty, though, and patriotic!

Very pretty. I wonder how many teams will be in red, white and blue at Rio. It gets confusing at times.

wow, thats a lot of bling for a WAG leo

 

[gymgal]

pretty, but the pattern is too plain in my opinion.

I like it. You know they will have a pink one for individual all around finals and a purple for event finals. Podium training and a second event final leo will also be a part of the assortment.

I think they look nice but yes, the Leo is very bling-y.

 

[txgymfan]

I wish the US would wear a blue leo once in a while.

Probably quite heavy too.

I like it. I do wonder if the 'final' version will have all that bling. Seems a bit too much and might poke/hurt.

Interesting. My dd's leo has very minimal bling, but yes there is one that makes her chest bleed right in the middle of her breast bone. Putting a bandaid there doesn't work as it irritates the heck out of her...this said, I would hope if it is for the Olympics, they would make sure it wasn't painful....?
But what do I know anyway....lol...

The leo worn at AT&T and Gymnix last weekend had even more bling than this leo. Didn't seem to stop the US slaughtering the competition.

Was the Gymnix one the same purple sparkle as the American Cup?

Sure was, it actually is pretty pink live, looked much more purple on the big screens. There were rhinestones shedding on the floor.

That men's singlet is very very shiny! I wonder if they're going with navy pommel pants.

 

[Mrs. Puma]

I love it! Bring on the bling!!!

 

[Gymnast243]

Love the bling but too plain

 

[CameraShy]

Love the bling but too plain

My thoughts exactly. I love the men's, but the women's just isn't all that pretty in design.

 

[azara]

Not from the US, but I think it looks fabulous. Simple but classy. And really sparkly. That's always a good thing

 

[MILgymFAM]

I think it's beautiful. That much bling and busy to boot would have been too much, in my opinion. I agree with the above- it's classy.

I find it interesting that they don't really match - the mens and womens I mean. Does that usually happen?
