RALPH LAUREN REVEALS TEAM USA’S 2022 CLOSING CEREMONY PARADE UNIFORM
Ralph Lauren has unveiled the Team USA Closing Ceremony Parade Uniforms for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Continuing its commitment to sustainability, the company worked to use more sustainable materials and manufacturing practices for the Closing Ceremony Parade uniform.
The Team USA Closing Ceremony Parade Uniform includes a buffalo plaid hooded puffer jacket featuring recycled polyester and recycled down; a fleece pant (men’s) and fleece legging (women’s), gloves and boot made with recycled polyester; and an intarsia turtleneck sweater and a hat made from Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified U.S grown wool. Ralph Lauren sources wool from RWS certified ranches and by 2025, is committed to using 100 percent RWS certified or recycled wool. Each item in the uniform is proudly manufactured in the United States.
“Ralph Lauren is incredibly proud to outfit Team USA in apparel that has been designed with integrity and purpose,” said David Lauren, chief branding and innovation officer at Ralph Lauren. “For these Games, the design aesthetic of our uniform represents a modern look that feels distinctly new and fresh, created with sustainability in mind. We are highly invested in scaling sustainability solutions that have the potential to significantly reduce our and the wider industry’s impact, and we are proud to have created thoughtful apparel for Team USA that embodies this mission.”
Ralph Lauren has served as an Official Outfitter of Team USA since 2008. Unlike most other countries’ Olympic and Paralympic Teams, American athletes are not supported by federal funding. A portion of Ralph Lauren Team USA Collection sales support the United States Olympic and Paralympic Teams. Ralph Lauren also provides Team USA with the Opening Ceremony Parade uniform and a collection of villagewear, all of which will be available for sale in the coming months.
The Closing Ceremony Parade Uniform is now available for purchase online at ralphlauren.com.
