Among the many fashion displays in the home of sprezzatura, the viral fashion hit of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy is Team USA’seagle skirt.
The eagle skirt was included in Team USA’s Nike welcome merch package for the Games, USA TODAY previously reported. It features a bald eagle soaring against a Colorado mountain skyscape.
“The Team USA collection takes after the dramatic landscapes surrounding Colorado Springs, home to the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee, with an outdoor-inspired aesthetic that celebrates the connection between athletes and the places that shape them,” Nike said in an announcement released ahead of the games.
The skirt has been a sight across American Olympian social media, with skier Kyra Dosa declaring “I won’t stand for the eagle skirt slander” on TikTok and fellow skier Grace Henderson saying, “Despite the controversy, the eagle skirt was in fact necessary.“
The skirt’s popularity has caused Nike to restock it on its website.
