Did you see caribou or elk at the Olympic closing ceremony?
Mar 01, 2010
At the 2010 Vancouver Olympic closing ceremony last night the Canadian athletes donned Cowichan style sweaters with an antler bearing ungulate design. The question is; are they caribou or elk?
According to CBC they are caribou (see Step 2 in the article). But, back in October the Vancouver Sun labeled them as elk. And the confused public who want to resell their Olympic sweaters are playing it safe by referring to them as “Caribou/Elk”.
What do you think the organizers had in mind when they designed the Olympic sweaters, caribou or elk? I bet you know what my anwser is ;)
