Cap Got Your Tongue?

Olympic fashionistas are having a field day as the 2012 London Summer Games approach. First, most of Great Britain is unhappy with the uniforms their athletes will be wearing. Then came the news that Team USA's Opening and Closing Ceremony uniforms aren’t even made in America. Now, we discover that US swimmers will don white caps featuring a small American flag along with the athlete’s name on one side and a tiny Speedo logo on the other. In years past, a larger American flag was prominently displayed on both sides. The change has even drawn the public ire of gold medalist Michael Phelps. Much ado about nothing? Tongue-in-cheek criticism? We'll know soon enough. The games start next week and the world will be watching.
