Team USA's closing ceremony racing outfits, critiqued by a firesuit design expert

When a well-known fashion designer revealed the uniforms for Team USA athletes participating in the Summer Olympics, one particular outfit caught the attention of those in the motorsports industry. The uniform, to be worn during the closing ceremony, resembled classic motorsports racing attire, with a white denim look, bold lettering embroidered across the chest, patches, and racing stripes. Even NASCAR’s Instagram account noticed the similarities. The manager of branding and licensing for Toyota Racing, Mandy Underwood, praised the incorporation of current fashion trends, such as bomber jackets and patches. Underwood described the overall fit as classy and unique for a city like Paris, known for its fashion influence.
