This situation needs to be addressed: the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) continues to use the name "Virgin Islands," on the international level. It's especially concerning to see athletes from the USVI wearing uniforms that simply say "Virgin Islands." This is misleading and, frankly, disrespectful. While our athletes from the Virgin Islands wear British Virgin Islands. This has been going on for too long now.
