Burton's U.S. Winter Olympic uniforms are very old
If you love snowboarding and you're a space nerd the 2018 Winter Olympics are for you.
Burton Snowboards released the official U.S. snowboard team uniforms for the upcoming Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and guess what: They're astronaut themed.
The uniforms were inspired by NASA's history according to a press release, and even give a nod to the space administration's old-school logo.

Patches on the competition jackets, hats, shirts, and gloves show the American flag along with "USA" written in the familiar NASA font. On several items of clothing, Burton is written into NASA's iconic logo, and the white jacket and one-piece straight-up look like space suits.

The outside appearance of the clothing isn't the only thing on-point. The inside of the jacket is said to have detailed artwork sewn into the lining: including Korean translations of phrases that may come in handy for athletes at the games, such as, "Do you speak English?" and "Wish me luck!"
The fashionable space-inspired gear are a hit on social media, with NASA fans already eager to update their winter wardrobes.
