The accessory offerings, which feature American flags and US Olympic branding, range the from knit hats, gloves and scarves to nylon duffle bags and a limited-edition Polo Bear dressed in the official Team USA Closing Ceremony uniform.

“When the US Olympic and Paralympic teams march into the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, they will carry with them the support of all Americans,” said Peter Zeytoonjian, USOC managing director of marketing.

“Ralph Lauren takes great pride in outfitting Team USA, and the Closing Ceremony garments for the 2014 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams reflect the pride and embody the emotion of this special moment.”
