Sorry if there is a similar thread somewhere else, but I after a quick check, I didn't see anything.

I was catching the women's cross country skiing even today (around 12:30 CST) and it looked like a couple of the women had on Oak's that I've never seen before. I think one of them was Olsson (SP?) from Sweden. They seemed to say Oakley on the side, but was hard to see. The other I can't remember the skier, but she had on a set of silver frames and besides looking like it said Oakley on the arm, it also looked like there was an "O" icon on the top of the bridge. Anyone else see these, know what they are, or if I'm losing what little of my mind I have left. Also, if there isn't another thread like this, please post any other possible new Oaks, mens or womens, you see during the Olympics.

they were rudy project sunglasses... the yellow frame with the blue lens?

Just saw a portrait of Jeremy Wotherspoon, I guess it will be available online tomorrow (will post a link then). It looked like he was wearing some kind of half framed scalpels with the logo's also tilted but more in a separate piece like the valve had back in the days...

Jeremy is a Kaenon sponsored athlete, not an Oakley One.

I watched the Short Track on Saturday night, and spotted multiple Radars, with one looking like it had the Jade Iridium. They were all customs of course, but did not appear to match the Countries of the wearers. One skater had a custom Red/Black Jawbone as well.

I noticed the South Korean short track skater was wearing what looked like Blue Iridium.
You could see the VR28 base when light came through from behind...

I suppose it could have been G30 too... it was pretty light.

At tonights medal ceremony for the Mens Moguls, Alexandre Bilodeau was wearing a Minute Machine. Congrats to Alexandre!!!!

I just saw his time tank too! Black face titanium band. Awesome!

Skater was wearing a Hi Persimmon it looks like

@Robert yeah I think those were the ones. It was kinda hard to see so you're probably right. Plus I was busy doing other things so it's kinda hard to remember exactly.

yea i was thinking a new radar like frame aswell until i saw the close up and it said Rudy on the side.

I'm noticing not as many skiers or boarders wearing the goggles as last time. Lots of Bolle goggles though.

loads of uvex as well, I did see an a frame and two crowbars during the womens freestyle mogul and someone was wearing radars on the mens biathlon

is there some olympic restriction as to the size of corporate logos on the athelete's gear? on ALL the oakley goggles i have seen worn by the competitors, the icon on the strap has been small. just glancing at oakley.com, there is not a google for sale with a small icon (not that i would want one... bigger is better).

Yep, there is indeed a size restriction. The small logo straps are not for sale. Some members were lucky enough to get themselves one from the last Winter Olympics.

If a company logo turns up to big on a competitors jacket that compete has to pay a big fine.

good article at espn concerning sponsorship...

http://espn.go.com/action/news/story?id=4921916

apparantly images on goggles, hats, sunglasses and gloves, can be no larger than 6 square centimeters

So I assume that this is why some athletes or organisator have some sticky tape on their strap. Now that is easier to understand.

I am not sure how many of you watched Lindsey Jacobellis during the X games but her Troy Lee Designs helmet has "Jacobellis" stretching from the chin beyond her ears. During the Olympics even this was covered up with snowflake like stickers. I was surprised to see this because it was her last name but there must have been some sort of regulation on it.

Correct and thus the small stretch icon on the goggle strap. This rule is also true in the summer Olympics.

Lots of gold clear radar lenses for the speed skaters too.

No longer than 6cm??? Does that take into account the stretch? :)

Without the Oakley's she would not have done it!

Christine Nesbitt has won Canada's first speedskating gold medal, winning the women's 1,000 meters








Go Canada!!

Yeah, and for us Annette Gerritsen fell at the 500 meters. Despite her Oakleys :P
And was 2nd with only 0.02 seconds yesterday, however she seemed happy with it. Felt like a gold medal :) But I have to say she deserved it well to stand on the podium :)
About Nesbitt the dutch television had also a great portrait, she's a very nice person. Vid is in english: http://nos.nl/os2010/video/137953-portret-christine-nesbitt.html

EDIT: it is in Dutch till 30 seconds. After that it is english

Olympic Hockey Team visors have the O symbol on them. They are awesome.

Go Canada.
too bad USA is going to loose. Well not too bad because Canada is going to win. Thanks for coming out though. :)
