If you think we will never blog about fashion here at The Olympics Blog, you should think again. Actually, we never intended to blog about fashion but the Kiwis down under forced us to blog about it when they unveiled their Olympic uniform.
How can we not upload the above picture right? We’re sure the legions of you who’ve got a foot fetish will go crazy with New Zealand’s crocs.
What about the second picture? Are we the only ones who think that New Zealand swimmer Dean Kent looks kinda sorrowful in this pic? With the all-black uniform and his not too happy face it is as if he just attended a wake. What’s up, mate?
Now we’re talking. To use a cliche, swimmer Helen Norfolk strikes a pose. She’s also the model for the crocs above which foot fetishists are going crazy about.

Black is the traditional New Zealand sports colour. Our rugby team is the All Blacks, our cricket team wears black hats, our sailing teams fly black sails.
black with a silver fern is traditional and, even though you may think it depressing, it’s part of the national identity and has to be this way.
