The GB is actually nice, its not a garish union jack for a change, is subtly British without being tacky.
Can't find the Irish opening ceremony outfits but Beijing's were horrendous, they were described as Nuns on Tour.
Here is the sports stuff, I hate how we always use white, it doesn't go with our snow white skin, orange and green would be a better combo than green and white.

France's unis are nice, a little dull.
Jamaica's a bit fashion forward, but I'm not sure the skirt is right. Best of the lot.
Denmark, nice but dull but not egregious.
USA, GB, Spain, Australia, Poland, horrible
Serbia, kind of cute for the woman, but the man's is dull.
Ireland, dull
Italy, surprisingly dull and ugly
Germany, jacket looks ugly and hot, not flattering, serviceable.

I thought so, too. I actually like Jamaica and UK the most so far. After all, it is a sports event and they're conveying that spirit very well.
Danish uniforms make no sense to me.
Nice!
Jamaican ones are great indeed, the rest - not so much, but some are worse than others.

Nice. They went for the sporty look without simply emblazoning the country name on the shirt like Canada (:help:).
It so hard to design for all the different athete's body types and have it flatter (all) the athletes. Going the athletic/sporty route can make it easier, but then these teams won't look as formal in the opening ceremony. Quite a difficult tradeoff.

London 2012: Spanish athletes criticise country's Olympic uniforms
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jul/19/london-2012-spanish-olympic?newsfeed=true
Spain's garish red and yellow Olympic uniforms have not gone down well with some athletes preparing to head off to London, and have become the butt of jokes on social media networks.
Photos posted on Twitter by gold medal winning canoeist Saul Craviotto and hockey player Alex Fábregas have been doing the rounds this week, reopening a debate that first surfaced when Spanish designers criticised the outfits in May.
"At home trying on the Olympic clothes. Best I don't comment, I will leave it up to you …" Craviotto said on his account while posing with full kit including baseball cap and backpack.
"Olympic outfit, there aren't enough adjectives," Fábregas, who won a silver in Beijing, said alongside his photo taken in their official tracksuit.
The Russian firm Bosco, which also designed the Russian and Ukrainian kits, have provided the outfits free of charge in a deal with the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE).
"The outfits are what we have, we cannot change them now, and were decided upon more than a year and a half ago," the COE president, Alejandro Blanco, told sports daily AS on Wednesday. "When Rafa Nadal [the flag bearer] and all the others appear in their uniforms the whole world will applaud and Spain as well."
In a separate interview with ABC Punto Radio, Blanco said, "When you measure the difference between paying one and a half million of public money and free clothes, there is no discussion."
Spanish designers have expressed their indignation that no national companies were employed to clothe their own athletes, and said the designs did not present a good image for the country's fashion industry. They cited nations such as the United States, Britain and Italy who had chosen high-profile designers such as Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney or Armani as examples.
COE dismissed their arguments saying that no Spanish company had stepped forward to offer their services.
"Looking forward to seeing Feliciano López wearing the official Olympic uniform. He'll never have worn anything so ugly in his life," the former tennis world No1 Carlos Moya said on Twitter. World No 30 Lopez replied: "It's loud, very loud. But it's what we have, man. Spain is different and it always will be."

he makes it sound like they had no saying in the design whatsoever, which is hard to believe.
