Call me when skateboarders start wearing sports clothes  

Curious, what are “sports clothes”? Really anything can be athletic wear. I ran a race in my school polo once since I forgot my running top. It was actually comfortable, and I often trained in my polo after that.

The Kenyans not wearing green/red/black in some form, the Croatians not wearing some sort of checkers, the Dutch not wearing orange in some form, no green/yellow/blue (or at least two of them) for Brazil, no red for Norway...now that'd be boring. Consistency is key, at least the Kenyans understood that - even with a completely different design.

It sounds like the athletes like it, and it’s a design that better fits Kenya’s culture. The uniform is still red, black, green...just not in the traditional format.

Bees are a major part of Kenyan culture?  

 

Interesting.

No, but that design mirrors much of neo-African fashion. It shows that Kenya is much more modern (at least in the cities) than people believe.

It's intended.. Optical illusion for other competitors, making them dizzy and run slower

Once again our difference in taste shows because I like that pattern.

Here’s another look at the Brazilian, American, and French uniforms for Skateboard. I honestly quite like these, but I’ll probably be in the minority as always.
