Hell, even a rainbow maple leaf would be pretty dope on an otherwise red uniform.
Even if it was only Canada and the nordic nations that participated, it would send a strong message of support without putting it (figuratively at least) on the shoulders of the athletes.

So question for you to play devils advocate. What it you have an athlete who doesn't support a gay lifestyle and doesn't want to be involved in any kind of protest?
do you pressure him to wear the uniform, or do you let him not wear a uniform and he becomes not only hated but potentially used as a piece of Russian propaganda?
