NextImg:U.S. Closing Ceremony Outfits Get Run Over By Critics: 'Channeling NASCAR'
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Ralph Lauren should have left these duds on pit row.

The clothing company got slammed Sunday for the auto racing aesthetic of its closing ceremony outfits for the U.S. team at the Paris Olympics.

Commenters on social media joked that the uniforms looked like something out of NASCAR or Will Ferrell’s “Talladega Nights,” while others quipped that they were hideous valet parking outfits.

The two people who might be left with the most skid marks on them, however, are flag bearers Katie Ledecky and Nick Mead, who first entered the Stade de France for the Americans and have been at the center of most of the jokes about the country’s closing ceremony uniforms.

“There a reason the US team is channeling NASCAR in their outfits?” one person wrote on X. “Waiting on them to break out some Budweisers and Big Macs.”

Check out more comments below:
