Some of you watching the coverage on TV may be noticing a theme with the decor in the athlete's village, even on some of the winter accessories that reporter's and athlete's are wearing. Notice the stripes everywhere of green, yellow, black & red? These are the "official" colors of Canada's Hudson's Bay Company, and also the colors mainly seen in the historical HBC Point Blanket.
I think my great aunt had a peacoat made from one of these blankets in the 70's. Actually, they are all the "rage" right now, if you can find one. Good luck with that.

I have a gray point blanket at the foot of my bed. It's such a classic! I'm really liking the outfits that HBC designed for the Canadian athletes. I wish they would offer them for sale to the public!
