Burton 2010 Olympic team outfit

Burton have unveiled the gear that the US snowboard team will be wearing at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

This unconventional get-up features a plaid jacket complete with leather patches and trousers that looks like vintage denim...err, 'nice'!

It will be worn by all the US snowboard team, regardless of their sponsors outside of the event. This is just one of the IOC's strict rules that riders are unhappy about.

Find out more in our special report on the Olympics in HUCK#018.

  • Will plaid ever die!? Not really feeling the purposefully distressed jeans either.

    A grunge-inspired uniform - bit of an oxymoron isn't it?
