One particularly excited fan even started a petition to ask that the Norway curling team “always wear awesome pants”.

There were some nay-sayers though. Pink doesn’t exactly match with red.

This isn’t the first time the team has garnered attention for their interesting choice of clothing. In 2010, the Norwegian curling captain Thomas Ulsrud and team mates wowed the world with a beautiful pair of houndstooth patterned pants, and in 2014 stood out in alarming zig zags.
