London 2012 Olympics: Games delivery under threat as pressure begins to bite ahead of final inspection
David Cameron’s closest advisor, Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood, has taken charge of co-ordinating government’s Olympic work in an attempt to prevent tensions between Whitehall and the London organising committee derailing the 2012 project.

Up here in Grantham Lincolnshire, I have seen several people wearing Olympic wear.
Tracksuits to t-shirts.


Not sure if it was posted here at the time, but the football kit was released a few months ago and is available in Adidas and Olympic stores.

Not quite, that's the "supporters' shirt" apparently. The football kit can be seen a few posts up in the pic with Jack Rodwell.

It's a contemporary take on the flag. As the designer has stated.

The supporters shirt looks the better of the two.

We're lucky to have such a distinctive flag, we should make the most of the fact and play around with it. It could be pink with yellow spots and it would still be obvious which team we are.
