The new team U.S.A. basketball Hyper Elite uniforms by Nike have dropped. The new threads are designed to give LeBron and company a little added help in bringing home gold this summer in London. The important deets on the new and improved unis, courtesy of the Nike Blog: The Jersey: The lightest jersey ever, the 3D-structured Dri-FIT strategically placed hem vents and mesh panels enhance breathability and circulation without adding bulky stitching. The 3D-structured Dri-FIT fabric also pulls sweat from the skin to reduce cling. The Shorts: Made of 100% recycled polyester materials, a four-way stretch fabric allows for a full range of motion with side panels and laser-cut perforations for circulation and ventilation. The shorts also weigh an incredible 14 ounces lighter than typical pro basketball shorts. Nike bringin’ the heat as usual.

With the world prepping to invade London for the Olympic games in 365 days, big and shiny new Olympic medals were unveiled on Wednesday.The biggest Summer Olympics medals to date. Artist David Watkins says the key symbols on front and back juxtapose the goddess Nike, for the spirit and tradition of the Games, and the River Thames, for the city of London. On the back of the medals is the 2012 branding, representing the modern city as a jewel-like, geological growth. Well played, David Watkins.

Update on our London 2012 campaign we launched back in May (for those who missed it, we announced to the world that we’re willing to head to London to cover the 2012 Summer Olympics online in partnership with any willing media outlet). Well it looks as though we have the accommodations covered! That’s half the battle! Now we just need a friendly media outlet, sports network etc. to step up and pay for food and travel! Interested? Check out our London 2012 page for details! Special thanks to our unnamed accommodation supplier. The sports Gods will forever shine down upon you.
