Olympic Basketball Jerseys

We all know the USA's jerseys and a number of countries' jerseys, but I thought it would be interesting to post the Olympic jerseys here. There are some very unique and interesting designs.

Here is Russia's jersey (kinda looks Hawaiian to me)

You used to hold me

Tell me that I was the best

Anything in this world I want

I could posses

All that made me want

Was all that I can get

In order to survive

Gotta learn to live with regrets

Spanish one's, the navy reminds me of Clevelan Cavaliers' alternate or Arsenal's last year third. I love it, anyway I am catalan and I'm in love/hate relation with Spain...

Like everytime I post any comment, sorry if there are some gramatical errors, my english needs some work to be right.

Marc Gasol in the photography, you'll see soon in Memphis that he's something more than Pau's brother. I wanted to post a photo of Ricky Rubio, 17 year older and the soon-to-be the best european player ever in the NBA. For the one's who don't know him, let's do some research on internet to know something abour our own "Choosen One".

I don't give a rats's a** what the frickin' Russkies wear. The Commie SOBs got the 1972 Gold Medal GIVEN to them by GD R. William Jones, the Lord High Ruler of International Basketball. The stupid SOB violated a GODDAMN RULE HE HIMSELF WROTE and overruled the game officials by giving the GD Russkies three chances to win the game. When the damn commies went ahead then old fart Jones said, "Game Over. USSR wins. Good Bye." THE U.S.A. DID NOT LOSE THE GAME. IT WAS STOLEN. THE GODDAMN SILVER MEDALS CAN ROT IN THE VAULT IN SWITZERLAND UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER! THE U.S.A. WON THE GOLD! END OF STORY! SCREW THE DAMN RUSSKIES! :mad::mad::mad:

Who says "Russkies" anymore? Who cares about a basketball game from 36 years ago? When you write in all caps, who are you yelling at? And do you see the irony in calling someone else "old fart"?

The US won the Cold War and the USSR doesn't even exist anymore. Is some medal in a basketball game you didn't play in that important to you?

You're goddamn right it's that important. It's our game (the USA). It was invented here and we taught the world how to play it. Then a bunch of Euros tell us what rules we have to play our game by? It doesn't work that way, pal. We tell the rest of the world what rules will be used for basketball, not the other way around. Does the world community take our advice when it comes to futbol (soccer)? I don't think so.

Yes, I am an old fart who watched the game live on ABC-TV when it was originally broadcast. And the screwing we got after the game and all during the appeal process has stuck with me because anyone who saw the game live knows how we got hosed. Most of you people on this board weren't even born when the game was played. You have no comprehension of how tense the times were back then. The 1972 Olympics had the terrible tragedy of the Israeli hostage crisis. The games should have ended right after the attack on the helicopter at the Munich Airport. But they went on. But the anamous after that game srill lingers with many of us oldtimers. We (the USA) were right. We got screwed. And we should never forget. You know the old adage. Those who forget about the past are doomed to repeat it. Never give in. Don't back down. Stand up for what's right. Be it sports or life. Stick up for the USA!

And now we return to our regularly scheduled programming: The discussion of the 2008 Olympic Basketball Uniforms brought to you by Nike.

Yeah, I don't know about those Germany and China uniforms... not so much a fan of. It's really bad when Croatia has the best uniforms. And why doesn't Russia have blue on them? Are we going back to 1972 or something? What's next CCCP on them?
