International Love

The Olympic Games is an extraordinary event that unites the world every four years in celebration of athletic excellence and national pride. Although fans root for their respective countries, there's a powerful bond between us all as we watch our nation's finest athletes compete together on the Olympic stage. Numerous gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded throughout the two-week event, but in the end, the London 2012 Olympics is really about two things that transcend race, origin and language: love of sport and love of country.

In this spirit of international love, TSR believes in helping fans of all nations make a medal-worthy fashion statement this Olympic season. For non-Team USA fans who want to represent their favorite country in style, check out these picks for men and women in a random sampling of national teams:

Giveaway: For Your Baby Fanatic

You don't get to choose your parents and in some families, you don't get to choose who you root for. For those who are born fans, Baby Fanatic has everything little ones need to start cheering from birth.

Baby Fanatic was started in 2003 by Tricia Woodson, a mother of three in search of Virginia Tech baby gifts. Once a home-based business with a staff of one, Baby Fanatic has grown into a multimillion dollar company, offering baby items in NFL, MLB and NCAA teams (NBA coming soon). Its constantly expanding product line offers popular items like pacifiers, baby bottles, pre-walk baby shoes and sippy cups, as well as Sip N Gos, Snack N Gos, insulated toddler cups and dinner sets. Diaper bags will also be available for the 2012 holiday season.

Made in America

In the wake of an Olympic-sized blunder that found Ralph Lauren under fire for manufacturing Team USA's London 2012 uniforms in China, demand for American-made products is on the rise. In this spirit of patriotism and the upcoming Olympic Games, TSR scoured Etsy.com, an online, global marketplace where people can buy and sell original, handmade creations, for items that celebrate America in style. You may not be wearing Ralph Lauren while you cheer on Team USA, but you can support them and our nation's small business owners with one of these great finds!

Check out TSR's American-made favorites from Etsy.com:
