Olympics Costumes That Made a Statement

The Winter Olympics of 1992 were located in Albertville, France. The occasion marked the first time that Russia competed following the dissolving of the Soviet Union. So, they chose to celebrate with an odd choice as far as ensembles go. We’re talking robins egg blue fedoras with matching oversized pea coats and scarves.

Of course, they look more like men of the Mafia than Olympians. Maybe they’re really into gangster movies over there. At least they look cozy! The color scheme is also reminiscent of the French Quidditch team in the Harry Potter franchise. The Beauxbatons Academy of Magic! Maybe they whipped wands out of their coat sleeves.
