Organizers of the 2010 Olympics have publicly scolded Vancouver retailer Lululemon Athletica for selling a special edition of clothing that celebrates a "cool sporting event" taking place in British Columbia.

Lululemon, which is not a Games sponsor, unveiled its "Cool Sporting Event That Takes Place in British Columbia Between 2009 & 2011 Edition" clothing at stores across Canada on Monday.

"We expected better sportsmanship from a local Canadian company than to produce a clothing line that attempts to profit from the Games but doesn't support the Games or the success of the Canadian Olympic team," stated Bill Cooper, director of commercial rights management for the Olympic organizing committee, known as VANOC.

VANOC has exclusive Canadian marketing rights to Olympic brands from Jan. 1, 2005 to Dec. 31, 2012. Only official, paying sponsors are allowed to market products under the brand.

As a result, the committee is notoriously protective of the Olympic brand, threatening and following through with legal action against any businesses trying to hone in on Games trademarks.

"We see the collection and the marketing activities around the collection as both disappointing and posing significant risk of inflicting harm on the Games," Cooper said in an interview Tuesday.

However, Cooper said VANOC won't pursue legal action against Lululemon.

"They have done a lot of homework to avoid strict repercussions under the letter of the law," he said. "That's a large part of what we find disappointing, that the only standards they held themselves to was the letter of the law."

Cooper said VANOC will try to persuade Lululemon to change tactics with the advertising of its new clothing line.

VANOC also noted that "real" Olympics merchandise can be purchased at the Hudson's Bay Company, an official sponsor, and from numerous Canadian licensees across the country.

Lululemon had bid in the past to be the official outfitter of Canada's Olympic team, but lost to Hudson's Bay Co. in 2005 for the 2006 Games in Italy. The Bay won the contract to outfit the Canadian team from the 2006 Olympics until 2012.

I dunno - on the one hand, VANOC has at times gone overboard in protecting the brand. However, Lululemon is stepping right up to the line, without going over, on purpose. That's kinda douche-y, IMO.
