HBC Unveils Beijing 2008 Clothing

You can't please all of the people all of the time. That saying is especially true for the 2008 clothing unveiled for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics. The clothes unveiled by the Hudson's Bay Company definitely have some hits and misses.

The overall concept of the 'new sport camouflage' by designer Tu Ly is a good one, in the right doses. Pieces that have hints or accents of the Canadian-Chinese fusion design look great, items that are all sport-camo are quite abrasive to say the least.

The sport-camo hoodie could work. It's a little loud, but not that bad on the whole. The matching pants though are horrible. They're probably just far to reminiscent of 'jams' for their own good. At least they aren't fluorescent.

This Olympic line is available for purchase but is not the clothing that the Canadian Olympic Team members will wear at the various ceremonies in Beijing. That outfit will be unveiled as they enter the Opening Ceremonies.
