Spotted in Sochi: Are Team USA's 'hideous' sweaters worse than Andorra's? [pics]

First, go Team USA! Second, go Team USA sweaters. Go far, far away.

USA! USA! Boy, those really are ugly outfits. Big cheers for the giant US delegation just the same.

The Cosby rerun knock-offs described as outfits that look like “freedom barfed all over” them were sadly not a joke. The Ralph Lauren-designed sweaters have made their debut at the Sochi Winter Olympics.

Why does Ralph Lauren hate America? #OpeningCeremony

Maybe they’ll grow on us?

I dont' know if the USA Olympics sweaters are meant to be serious or ironic.. but i know that I want one #teamuglysweaters

Is it bad that I want one of those Olympic sweaters the US will be rocking? They are ugly but awesome at the same time

So when do we begin the Team USA sweater debate? Because, I have to tell you, they might be growing on me. #Sochi #OpeningCeremony

— Stacy St. Clair (@StacyStClair) February 7, 2014

Look, America. I've changed my mind. The Christmas-sweater inspired outfits seemed fun and festive. #sochi #OpeningCeremony

Upon further review, kind of loving the USA Olympic granny patchwork sweaters.

Let’s pretend Team USA’s sweaters are better than Andorra’s. For America.

Andorra appear to have all received the same jumpers for Xmas #bbcsochi pic.twitter.com/l5lP50Xs6E
