The vest, when viewed in the sketch and I hazard a guess when viewed in person (from a distance) gives the impression that the person has a medal around their neck.

Brilliant pick up!

Love the belt and the cricket-jumper vest thing, but otherwise it's a bit blander than I would have hoped from dear Ralph.

the australian team uniform looks like fight steward's uniforms

keep in mind the RL design includes "village wear" for casuals as well as ceremonial outfits

The Chinese track uniform looks like it's painted on.

It looks like a video game character costume in the vein of Street Fighter.

Indeed it does. The Australians appear to be the victims of terrible tailoring:
