HBC does Zellers

Hudson’s Bay Company has unveiled its Olympic retail sportswear for Canada reports Canada.com:

Today, Canada's oldest retailer unveiled the first phase of the Olympic uniform re-design, rolling out their "Olympic leisure wear" line; designs for uniforms to be worn during the awarding of medals, formal nights, and opening and closing ceremonies, have yet to be unveiled.

Bay representatives say colours for the newly designed Olympic-wear incorporate colours from the Olympic Rings, which coincidentally, resemble the colours of the company.

Here’s my verdict - Low Rent Roots. Personally, I'll not be replacing my Roots 2000 Olympic beret this winter - still looks like new 5 years later, but then again, that's Roots.

Global is running an online poll – go vote.
