    Err, the one in the middle?

    what research has been done that leads them to conclude that we need overcoats in Rio?

    Congratulations Stella... I didnt actually think it was possible but you've designed a kit WORSE than the London 2012 one!!

    Looks more like the colours were arranged by Stella Artois. Not a fan.

    You'd have thought that Stella could have designed a coat for herself that actually fit properly! Or did she borrow it from one of the basketball players...

    Steady on - the 2012 kit was great.

    The 2012 kit did seem excessively blue...

    Can just imagine Dave Memhet rushing out to buy a pair of the Tom Daley trunks and dive bombing into his local pool midway through a school swimming lesson.

    Its what I've always hated about it... Especially as the British flag is Red / White / Blue

    Cant understand why we dont just race in the usual kits that Britain race in i.e.

    The kit in the middle seems a bit plain.

    There seems to be a silhouette of someone smoking a pipe on Jess' chest? Popeye?

    In all seriousness, the trousers look like they were stolen off someone else and the t-shirt looks like my washing the car/clearing out the shed t-shirt.

    I do not understand how these fashion designers get employed. If I walked into a bank and said "I want a job, by the way I can't count" they'd tell me to eff off immediately. But if you turn up at the British Athletics Federation and say "Look at me, I can't dress myself properly, shall I design the next batch of GB Olympic kits" then they can't wait to sign you up.

    Nonsense.

    It's fucking disgusting. Why can't we just have a white, red and navy kit, white base for the top, navy shorts, red socks with a union flag motif on the white top

    Whats a joke is the fact that Stella has probably been handsomely paid for this job which has no doubt come from some of the funding that was cut from various Sports which didnt do well enough at London 2012!!

    Has anyone ever seen Tom Daley in anything but trunks?

    It's not even a case of 'oh I think I'll warm to them' as they are just appalling.

    The 2012 kit was alright. This new kit is horribly busy and over-designed (and in Tom Daley's case, far too small!)

    Bloodyhell, that is awful.

    For athletics just go retro and stick to the white top with red and blue bands ala Coe,Ovett & Thompson.

    Which she isn't, as she's paid by Adidas, who pay the BOA.

    I'm all in favour of equal opportunities for the handicapped athletes .. BUT .. why have the powers that be gone so far as to allow a blind person to design the kits ?
