You know how burton always does the snowboarding team outerwear? How nuts would it be if some small company steps up and gets the sponsorship, like saga

i'm pretty sure it'll be exactly like any professional snowboarder in prior olympics. they really can't/won't do anything about it. and if you haven't read the thread, north face is the sponsor

at some point in time North Face WAS a company like Saga (small and unheard of), and then they got their big start at an event like such. Why shouldn't Saga (or another small company) get that same opportunity? yea TNF got it because they have money, and tnf is sick and does have a lot of money, what if another company just got an ill chance.

If any outerwear sponsor is dumb enough to think that it's beneficial for them to allow their rider to dress in the US olympic team UNIFORM - no matter who makes it - and let them compete... well.... they need to figure their shit out.
