Team USA debuts new Olympic uniforms for summer games

We're getting a look at what the American Olympic team will be sporting during Rio's closing ceremony.

Team USA members will be able to choose between a red, white or blue button down polo shirt. They'll wear them with khaki chino shorts and accessorize with boat shoes and a cotton bracelet.

The uniforms are designed by Polo Ralph Lauren, which has been the Olympic and Paralympic designer since the 2008 Beijing games.

The company received some criticism back in 2012 for making their USA team uniforms in China.

This time, the uniforms for more than 1,100 athletes were made in the USA.

Some pieces are now available for sale online, and more will go on sale in May.  Uniforms for the opening ceremony will be unveiled closer to the Aug. 5 start date for the summer games.
