The tribute to the Games of the XX Olympiad is certainly not accidental.

Beyond the aesthetic has presented a problem of a technical nature. The location mountain winter temperatures are expected, but in Sochi city, located on the Black Sea, there should be between 10 ° and 15 ° C.

The garments will also be available for the public. If someone wants to buy a hat created by Neuner should not do is dip into their wallet, because the cost is almost 100 Euros. The jackets inspired by Monaco '72 will instead be sold at € 1,499. Prices certainly not popular.
