Quote:
After making unexpected appearances at the past three Olympic Games, the United States team beret is officially retired - laid to rest between moon boots and the cummerbund in the cemetery of fashion faux pas.

This follows a mutual agreement made last December by Roots Ltd. and the United States Olympic Committee to end their six-year partnership because of creative differences over designs for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team uniform. Roots first became the U.S. outfitter at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City where more than one million of the infamous Team USA berets were sold.

Roots = Cheeseheads. Why would the US Olympic team want to look Canadian?

P.S. My Dad, my three brothers, and my mother's mother looked Canadian, because they were/are. Eh.
