Nike unveiled its official Team USA Olympic medal-podium swag on Tuesday and it’s a simple look.

We are still a little over a month away from the 2016 Rio Olympics and Team USA is looking to come away as the most victorious nation.

As we all know, the United States has consistently put together elite teams in just about every sport as one of the most well-recognized and respected athletic countries in the world. On Tuesday, Nike unveiled medal-podium uniforms which give America justice.

The uniform concept is pretty simple and will likely be a hot seller in the coming months, or whenever it goes on sale to the general public. Take a look at the smooth look here:

During the 2012 London Olympics, the United States finished in first place with 103 medals, including an Olympic-best 43 golds. It’ll be interested to see if they can hold onto that crown and remain the world’s premier athletic nation.

Many are excited about the Team USA Men’s Basketball squad led by guys like Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green and DeMarcus Cousins. This group will likely be the most watched of any Olympic squad for Team USA and many see them walking away with gold despite stars such as Russell Westbrook, LeBron James, Steph Curry and Anthony Davis missing from the roster.

Do you think the men’s basketball team is going to be sporting these slick unis on the podium as gold medal winners? These seem to be a hit so far, but what do you think?
