We're just a few hours away from the 2012 London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, and what better way to whet your appetite than some hot shots of Team USA?

On Thursday, Olympic basketball player Kevin Durant (of the Oklahoma City Thunder) tweeted an Instagram photo of himself alongside teammate Carmelo Anthony (New York Knicks). The two were getting fitted in their Ralph Lauren-designed, official Olympic Opening Ceremony uniforms for Team USA, complete with double-breasted navy blazers, crisp white shirts and striped ties.

Ready to represent: Basketball players Kevin Durant, left, and Carmelo Anthony, right, take their Olympics Opening Ceremony uniform fittings very seriously.

Look at these guys – quite the gentlemen, they even rocked the berets! (All together now: GO TEAM!)

For the uniforms, the iconic American brand was "very inspired by the 1948 Games, which is the last time that Americans competed in England,” said David Lauren, Ralph Lauren's executive vice president, in an interview with TODAY on July 10, adding it was an "updated take on old-world elegance."

Though stylish, the uniforms were not without controversy. Some considered the berets to be an odd choice for Team USA, and Ralph Lauren was heavily criticized for having manufactured the clothing in China. On July 13, the U.S. Olympic Committee announced that while it was too late to change the outfits ahead of the Games, it had agreed with Ralph Lauren to make apparel for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games domestically.

Wish you could look as suave as the competitors (but love your couch too much to ever consider training for the Olympics)? You can easily buy the Team USA Olympic Collection to celebrate the Games in style.

What do you think of the uniforms? Let us know!

Designers are going for the Olympic gold! First, Ralph Lauren announced his plans to create Olympic Village and closing ceremony looks for Team USA, then Stella McCartney unveiled her athletic gear for Team Great Britain. Now, Giorgio Armani is dressing Italy’s athletes in sleek white and midnight blue sportswear. “I am very honored to participate with these great colleagues,” Armani said at the unveiling of his Olympic Village collection. “This will be the most fashionable Olympic Games ever.” We can’t wait to see which designer Team France will wear!

Italy: Giorgio Armani
Instead of working with the traditional Italian flag colors of red, white, and green, Giorgio Armani opted for white and midnight blue. Every Italian Olympic athlete will be issued a set of Armani luggage packed with around 50 pieces of the sportswear, which Armani designed under his EA7 label. While the athletes won't compete in Armani, they will wear the looks for Olympic ceremonies, and while in the Olympic Village.

Great Britain: Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney collaborated with Adidas on Great Britain’s Olympic uniforms, which feature a contemporary take on the British flag. “When I talked to the athletes I asked them: 'Do you feel different when you look good, do you think it enhances your performance?' and they all said 'yes,’” the designer told the BBC."You shouldn't have to sacrifice style for sport."

USA: Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren is known for his all-American style, so designing the closing ceremony and Olympic Village looks for team USA was a perfect fit! Lauren stuck to a patriotic palette of red, white, and navy, and his signature pony logo and ribbon striped belts made their way onto many of the pieces. Shop the collection at ralphlauren.com.
