Each Olympics has their own fashion disasters. Let's not forget Spain's Olympic uniforms from the 2010 games. If there were a hall of fame for ugly, these would rank high.

They managed to offend the entire country of Australia with their Aboriginal themed ice dancing costumes, complete with brown faces and faux leaves. Consider these outfits next time you want to complain about the 2014 USA patriotic jackets.

The 2014 Ralph Lauren uniforms are awesome in every way. They're over-the-top patriotic, and play on the current ugly Christmas sweater pop culture phenomenon that our country is embracing. Rock on!
