    The press is calling these babies horrific and humiliating.

    https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/horrific-humiliating-scottish-athletes-uniforms-hammered-094420293.html

    What do you think?

    We don't think they are too bad.

    1) They are better than what you get for the Olympics as they aren't ruined by some sponor's annoying logo.

    2) We love seeing Chris O'Hare in scottish attire at NCAAs and can't wait to see him in this.

    Welllll.... I wouldn't say I like them, especially the women's outfits. Those dresses and handbags make 'em look like someone's spinster auntie. But I wouldn't say "horrific" either.

    I did LOL at this comment,
    "P45 for the 'designer'. That is just a shocking combination, total embarrassment." P45 = "you're fired"

    Nobody cares about opening ceremony uniforms. The press just likes having something to whine about.

    Hard to imagine them running fast with all that stuff on. Hurdles and poll vault may be really complicated.

    Ha ha. Awful. The men look like cross dressers. Fine, kilts, I get it, I'm 1/3 Scottish, but the shirts appear to be ladies blouses.

    The ladies look more acceptable but I guess they are going for the domestic help look.

    it's impossible to be 1/3 anything genetically...

    Now with those uniforms, the athletes certainly have something to 'wine' about.....

    OK fine. Dad was 1/2, mom's side has a smaller undefined amount of Scot, you make a better estimate.

    I'm trying, but so far without success, to figure out how one can be one-third of any particular ethnicity. I would seriously enjoy learning how that math works.

    I am Scottish. And let me tell you this! The people of Scotland are horrified at how awful this stupid outfit it.

    Designed by some arty farty idiot from a University, they are terrible. Absolutely terrible.

    I know a guy who has been selected for Team Scotland, his Facebook is just full of guys laughing at him having to wear this thing. It's hilarious.
