Team Great Britain’s matching luggage caused a disaster at baggage claim

Every British Olympian went to Rio with a red suitcase. That was a problem.

Baggage claim is the worst part of flying. And Team Great Britain found a way to make it worse. 

Every British Olympian went to Rio with a red suitcase, provided by Team GB. When they landed back in London this week, that became a problem.

Red bags were everywhere. Took a while to find your bags even with name & sport tags #GreattobeBAck #TeamGB #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/TfWAziL0Qj

Everyone eventually got their bags, but sometimes it’s possible to have a little too much patriotism.
