whats the " ROOTS " wording on the jackets for ?

 

It's the "official clothing line of the American Olympians"

 

They make great comfortable clothes and have been around for over 30 years, but my problem with them oufitting the American olympic team is this....they are a Canadian Company

Geez, you would think an american company would get that contract
