British Team seemed fit for purpose,but then it's just part of the Americanisation of British culture.

Better question is when it ended. 1908 the first team for GB played. Last was 1974 after they abolished the amateur rule. 2012 was a one off for men's, and they wouldn't have qualified for it this year due to the performance of England under 21s. If we are talking about the footy that is.

Marketing or competitive stature? I guess maybe the latter could breed the former.

It was a rebranding after the failure at the 96 Olympics when they won just one gold.
