And I think what I would like to see Track Santa deliver is a red bottom, white top, blue letter trim version of that. Something similar to what the Canadians wore in Montreal \u2013 updated of course.<\/p>\n

Simple, clean, and a move in a new direction for our troops. A nice way to move into the second decade of this New Millennium. Besides what other color do you wear when defeating Superman?<\/p>\n

A staple under most Christmas trees are good old clothes. Sweaters, pajamas, socks, and scarves will be opened up on Christmas morning in homes around the world. On my list this year, I\u2019m asking Track Santa to put some clothing underneath the USATF Christmas tree, because I think it\u2019s time that our national squad got some new uniforms. Since the Barcelona Olympics back in 1992, blue has been the primary color of our national uniforms. While we have had our share of success in \u201cblue\u201d uniforms, the past couple of Majors we seem to have been a bit \u201csnake bit\u201d with dropped batons, injured athletes and the like. The blue has gotten boring, predictable, and at this point is sort of a mark of some not so great times. We\u2019ve recently changed the look of the USATF logo, and we\u2019re in the midst of a change at the CEO position. I think it\u2019s time to go back to red as a primary color in our uniforms. It\u2019s visible, identifiable, hot \u2013 a racing color. Think red Corvette, Porsche, and Ferrari. Think \u201cThe Flash\u201d! We\u2019ve had some interesting variations on the red theme. There was the all red uniforms of the Los Angles Olympics. Another all red theme in Seoul. The red on top of blue of the Montreal Games. And my personal favorite with the use of red, the Tokyo \u201891 uniforms. Of course, my all time favorite uniforms are the black and white we wore in Munich. And I think what I would like to see Track Santa deliver is a red bottom, white top, blue letter trim version of that. Something similar to what the Canadians wore in Montreal \u2013 updated of course. Simple, clean, and a move in a new direction for our troops.
