Burton USA 2010 Olympic Uniforms

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:13:04 +0000

Olympic Style
Burton unveiled thier team uniforms for the United States Snowboard Team to be worn at the 2010 Olympic Games that will be held in Vancouver BC this Winter. The uniforms are a great mix of style with a bit of tradition thrown into the mix. According to the Burton designers: “This time around we gave the “kits” a very classic American style (jeans and flannels), and tried to put as much “snowboarding” into the uniform- which by definition is not very snowboardy. If the early season conditions of British Columbia are any indication, the riders probably wont need it, but we colab’ed with GORE-TEX on these to make sure they are the most awesome uniforms possible, both fashionable and functional.” Dope. Look for these this coming February on all the US National riders.
