there was a great opportunity for Nautica to not only dress the event staff
and NBC on-air talent, but to showcase the complete Nautica lifestyle and
sensibility in the spirit of the Games", said David Chu.  "I designed this
collection to encompasses the needs and personality of those sports-minded
individuals who prefer the great outdoors and go there in style."   This new
collection will be available at department and specialty stores nationwide
