The Olympics is over and here comes the Cheap T-Shirts

Just like that, 4 years in the making and it’s over in two weeks. I can only imagine what China must be going through I can remember the hangover Sydney experienced after the Olympics. People were on a high for the rest of the year and then like magic the mood changed. China spent billions on the games and on PR but we all know what the lasting images of the games will be. With the games are over we can all now afford some cheap Olympic clothing including souvenir t-shirts. Who is going to pay full price for merchandise during the games when all you have to do is wait a couple of weeks and you can purchase it at half-price.

I think many big name American companies have been caught out by the lack of sales in Olympic merchandise. In China many large sporting companies are hoping that the Chinese will embrace the post Olympic blues and start buying up merchandise. An article in The Wall St Journal explained that businesses such as Nike and Adidas have experienced slow sales during the event. The cost of products has to be the main reason for the slow sales. Now that the Olympics is over it’s time for the discounting to begin. While the Olympics have been popular on television people have been slow to rush out and buy any type of Olympic clothing. Will the trend change now that the Olympics are over? If you can’t find any cheap Olympic clothing but are after some seriously cheap NYC clothing check-out the full range at R.A.G.

Look what a cheap outfit can do to your confidence

If you’ve been following the basketball at this Olympics you would know the damage the mighty Dream Team has caused on nations. Today, it was Australia’s turn to experience the full-force of the US team and the end result was not pretty. If you don’t know, the Dream Team is a selection of the NBA’s best players. The best Dream Team ever picked was the one of the 92 Olympics, which contained stars like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird to name a few. Comparisons have been made with this year’s team in the way the team has demolished the opposition.

Getting back to Australia, naturally they were the underdogs but there was another issue affecting their performance. It was their uniforms! Yes, reports coming out of Australia that the uniforms had made the players feel uncomfortable and even embarrassed. The player’s confidence was zapped even before the first basket was thrown. Why, the Australians teams’ uniform was bright yellow, the players were warming up with yellow t-shirts, baggy shorts and a collection of white and black socks. Compared to Dream Team who came out wearing immaculate looking tracksuits, everything was in place they looked like the ‘Dream Team’.

We all know what a killer outfit can do for your confidence and I’m not surprised the Aussie’s were off their game. But, when you’re up against the best team in the world at least you want to look your best, even if you’re going to lose the game! The Aussie team should’ve rejected the cheap looking Olympic designed gear and went to the store to buy something different! At least enter the court wearing some cool designed t-shirts, haven’t you learnt anything from the American’s, dress for success. Better luck next-time boys!

Companies on the internet are giving away free t-shirts in return for advertising. Basically, you’re a walking billboard for the company.
