Curling Uniforms

It's been awhile since we posted about our third favorite obsession, curling. There are multiple intersections between design and curling, as non-scientifically evidenced by the large number of architects who belong to our curling club. A hat tip goes to club member (but not architect) Joe Rockenbach, who pointed me to Uni Watch's post on some bad-ass curling sweaters.

Curling sweaters normally fall into two camps: the quaint, patternbook variety or the sleek but styleless. These lads' throwbacks sport the best of both, especially when paired with some natty trousers. Check out the great photos on the post. Finally some uniforms that match the finer design points of the curling rink.

  2. There's printing and duckpin bowling, though the three often vie for the top spot depending on the season.

  3. Some curlers are best left unclothed...
