当格鲁吉亚的传统服饰制造商Samoseli Pirveli奉命为国家队制造开幕式服装的时候，我们本以为这个品牌将迎来事业的巅峰。
We imagine that when traditional Georgian clothing manufacturer Samoseli Pirveli got a call to designthe look of the nation's Olympians for the opening ceremony, the brand must have thought it was a career high-point.
可是，许多格鲁吉亚人可并不这么认为。持这种看法的人太多，以至于已经有超过6000格鲁吉亚人签署了一封网络请愿书来反对国家队采用这个设计。
However, many Georgians did not agree. So much so that more than 6,000 have now signed an onlinepetition, against the firm's designs for the Georgian national team.
这家格鲁吉亚公司与Mahnaz Armin比起来显得还算好，后者一手炮制了伊朗队服的原设计，而这个设计的反响真的太差，以至于在“实在太难看”的声浪之下，伊朗官方宣布他们将重新设计奥运开幕式的队服。
The company got off lightly compared to Mahnaz Armin who came up with the original design for Iran.Such has been the backlash that Iranian officials say they will re-design their team's opening ceremony outfits after the outcry over its "poor design".
这张传播甚广的meme把伊朗的队服和Pelikan橡皮做了对比。而宣传这个类比的人就包括著名的演员兼制片人Rambod Javan。他把这张图放上了Instagram并获得了13万多个点赞。他给图片配的文字是：“咱们的官员们选的设计师真是太棒了。我们的运动员付出了那么多心血，赢得了那么多荣誉，结果却要穿成这样去奥运会。”
This widely-shared meme likens the uniforms to Pelikan erasers. One of those drawing the comparison was the prominent actor and presenter, Rambod Javan. He put the picture on Instagram in a post which received more than 130,000 likes. It came with the caption: "A great well done to our officials for their choice of designer. Our athletes make lots of effort and gain glory but they are sent to the Olympics in such way."
