Yes folks, that is what your Team USA Olympians will be wearing to the Opening Ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Wild and Team USA winger Zach Parise was chosen as the model for the unveiling of the gear, which was designed by world famous fashion designer Ralph Lauren.

If the theme of the Opening Ceremonies is ugly Christmas sweater, then the United States is a shoe-in for the winner. But I guess I'll wait and see what Canada brings, given what they are wearing for hockey (*hurls*).

Remember the days when Olympic gear was pretty neat? Yeah, me too. I miss those days.

When Zach is not modeling this outfit today, he will be returning to the ice after a 14 game absence against the Blackhawks at Xcel Energy Center.
