Canadian Olympic Gear Made In.....China???
hock:
so i was shopping for clothes the other day, and i came upon some pretty sweet looking threads...hoodies, t's, sweaters, toques, etc. it was the team canada gear from the upcoming winter games. i was all set to pick up a nice hoodie, then i looked at the tag....
(i usually try to buy goods made in canada first, then if it's not made in canada, i might buy something made in the US, ireland, aus, etc.)
anyway, not that i'm surprised that the gear was made in china, but some of the proceeds from the sales were going toward the athletes and the canadian olympic team. i'd really like to support the team and get a nice hoodie to support my country while i'm at it, but not if it's made in china.
is it something that should have been kept "all canadian", or just a sign o' the times?
any other canucks be hesitant to buy team canada gear made in china? just curious...
