haha I liked the comment on transworld's fb page "like someone ate a quilt factory and barfed". Accurate.

 
Sadly, it is real..

And nothing represents Americana more than handcrafted patchwork quilts and the American flag, which are both at the heart of the 2014 uniform. After a long hunt, Burton designers found the perfect vintage quilt at an antique fair. Then, they brought it home to Vermont where it was deconstructed and re-constructed by a veteran Vermont quilt maker in order to get it ready to replicate onto the outerwear fabrics.

You read that right. They found this design at an antique fair.
 
There really needs to be a gold medal for the olympics where everyone is judged on the ugliest outerwear because holy shit half of it makes my eyes hurt
 
New tactic. US is going to assault the sensibilities of the other competitors in order to throw them off their game.
 
Anyone else find it extremely disrespectful that Burton just pasted their logo over the flag?
 
What were they thinking?

"ok so what we need to do here is not listen to anyone's opinions and go to my grandmas house and live with her for inspiration"
 
The snowboard uniforms have been ugly since pipe got added

They never look as bad when they're actually on the snow though
 
Something soothing about it. Reminds me of childhood. Maybe I had a quilt from the dumpster as a child.

Also you can all derelict my balls.
 
Honestly, I really like the German jacket.

They just have this very vibrant, comfortable Michelin Man looking steeze to them.
