The dispute is over a range of clothing that The North Face have produced in advance of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, in their ‘International Collection’.

As The North Face are not an official sponsor of the Games, the collection has been interpreted as ‘ambush marketing’ – an attempt to appear  to be ‘official’ merchandise.woodies burgers halal This is because different items include phrases such as ‘RU 14’ [kids, that stands for Russia 14, not something in text speak] and the date the Games start.boston bruins hooded towel The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC?) were particularly aggreived by a red maple leaf on white background, pretty much the Canadian flag.under armour big logo hoodie realtree max 4 The North Face also ran a competition alongside the new launch, offering the chance to win a holidayssur hoodie uk

COC sent a cease and desist letter to the company on Jan 10, and since then The North Face have made a number of changes to the collection. However, top marks to their marketing team and we’re delighted to give them some additional publicity – here’s to (what might be) great ambush marketing. Under Armour is making the Canadian snowboard team’s uniforms for Sochi, and Mark McMorris could probably do a run without suffering any embarrassment if it weren’t for those hideous pants.

Reports claim that the uniforms are a tribute to the uniforms of the Canadian men’s hockey team from the 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, which Canada won. To me it just looks like someone spilled ink all over the buttocks.If any Sochi uniform is fodder for the anti-Olympic segment of the freeski community, it’s ze Germans. Designed by Bogner – I say again, Bogner – these awful puffies look like the designer ripped the wallpaper off of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, stuffed a bunch of down behind it, and then stitched a “Team Germany” logo on it that has both palm trees and a polar bear, neither of which are native to Germany. Unless the Sochi Olympic logo has a palm tree in it, which if it does and if I were more superstitious, would seem a bad omen to be plastering all over the place when you’re trying to keep your Olympic halfpipe intact at such a low elevation that the average February temperature is above freezing. I’m getting more confused every sentence.

I wonder if Bene Mayr is as confused as I am. It’s apparent that once Germany was done raiding Wonka’s chocolate factory for the wallpaper, Vladimir Putin sent the KGB in to repossess all the Umpa-Lumpas’ wardrobes and stitch them all together into one incorrigible mess of a quilt trimmed in blue. So, if you’re really trying to get in on the volunteer gig just for a chance to kiss Scotty Lago’s medal, you must suffer the embarrassment of looking like a sun god threw up a rainbow all over your chest after a long night with tequila. At least they added some rainbow-fingered gloves as a peace offering to the homosexual athletes and visitors Putin initially outlawed before reality caught up with him. Ok, ok, so the “Rebel Americana” theme is a bit of a stretch, but our friends over at The North Face otherwise nailed it with the 2014 USA Olympic outfits, which are being made right here in 'Murica!! Solid colors, clean design, subtle American flare—these uniforms even have tall tee’s.

These patriotic pieces are a 1000% better than the garbage Team USA had to wear in Vancouver. Burton’s denim theme was definitely a bit of a stretch, so these TNF suits are a definite upgrade.  Tom Wallisch is stoked, the rest of the skiers seem stoked that they don’t have to look like a collage of paint swatches form the Home Depot, and the only one bumming is Shaun White. How can he possibly perform his famous boot grab in such baggy pants? The Kiwis’ theme colors of black and white was must have been tough on the summer athletes as they suffered in black leotards in August, but New Zealand’s Winter Teams gets it pretty good for Sochi. The manly color palette has even helped Jossi Wells grow a beard! We’re not really sure why tank tops are a part of the uniform, unless those guys are the only ones with realistic expectations for snow conditions on the slopestyle venue. Because anyone that rocks a tank under a puffy knows what’s up-- It’s the fire on the inside that counts- Kaw Kaw!
