Team GB Dive Team "Group Buy" v2!
 
Last year, we tried to get a group together to have the Team GB suit recreated (with a few changes for legal reasons). We came up just short of the 12 orders we needed. I've since found a company (Delphina Sport) who will do it for as small as an order of 10. Is anyone still interested around the same price point?
Price would be around $36USD

2 size 32", please!

Wyld1 05-06-2016 11:00 PM

I would love a pair count me in for one

obe12 05-08-2016 01:48 PM

I would like a pair too.... 34

area51tazz 05-10-2016 03:33 PM

The new company I found wanted to change the design too much for legal reasons, so I'm digging around again. I'll let you all know.

area51tazz 06-27-2016 06:25 PM

I'm back! With good news!

Turbo apparently lets you custom-design a suit and will print as few as 1. I submitted the design and attached is what they came back with. I'm awaiting pricing information and will keep you all informed.


area51tazz 06-28-2016 10:17 AM

Ok, if everyone is still interested, here's the deal:

30€ + vat + shipping. I'm pretty sure I can get shipping anywhere in the world around $10 USD.

Post here and PM me if you want the PayPal address to move forward.

I'm ordering 2 :D

vava002 06-28-2016 08:25 PM

30€ or $30?

area51tazz 06-29-2016 11:39 AM

Well it WAS 30€, but once I told them the initial shipment would go to the US, they've transferred my order there. I'm working with Kap7 to get the order done.

The $10 USD shipping is because I will be shipping them from the U.S.

area51tazz 06-30-2016 05:43 PM

Ok, we're ready for orders!

$40 USD/suit + Shipping (depends on how many suits) + Shipping to you from U.S. Zip Code 75010

speedorob86 can vouch for me and sending money...hopefully giving me a little credibility.

Since we're actually, finally doing this, I spent the time to replicate as CLOSE to the original as I could...including polka-dots :)

Ta-Da!

speedorob86 06-30-2016 05:52 PM

VOUCHING!!!

sent him money multiple times so he could purchase items in the states and send to Canada.

hes legit legit - trustworthy ;)

obe12 07-01-2016 03:41 AM

I am interested in 1 suit and I have Turbo suits now. I will see what Size I am in Turbo and let you know the size

obe12 07-01-2016 11:22 PM

I have ordered two suits from Kap7 before in California.

I looked back thought my emails and you found it. I ordered Large, and they where tight. these suit do not stretch much. Johnathon send me 3 suits to test fit and Large was tight, Xl looser and XXL to loose. I ordered my 2 suits in Large and they are well made and indestructible.

paspeedo 07-02-2016 12:26 AM

Definitely order up 1 size if you want them to be comfortable.

Im a size 36, and usually order 2XL.

Let me know where to send the money!

Wyld1 07-02-2016 09:48 AM

I will definitely take one they look great. I am a medium in UK size not sure if that is different for Turbo and how much is the shipping to the UK.

PM Sent with the details

area51tazz 07-03-2016 06:27 PM

I've got 3 people who have placed orders, but not paid yet. Only 6 suits are paid for.

That being said, is anyone interested to see what Finis can do? We need 10 suit orders to order from them, but I like their cut a lot more.

Thoughts?

area51tazz 07-05-2016 11:42 AM

So I have enough to place the order now, but @Wyld1 and @paspeedo both said they were in...I haven't received payment or size confirmation for either.

Anymore thoughts on Finis vs Turbo?

area51tazz 07-08-2016 11:35 PM

Ok, so I've been following up on the Finis option, as their cut is more accurate to the original suit, and their sizes come in normal numbers. Here's their first version:

I've asked them to go with a white base and gray polkadots and make the red accent follow the stitching. Any thoughts?

cluster 07-09-2016 04:41 AM

Hi area51tazz,
I've never had a Finis suit and don't know the fit.
Also I really like Turbo but its ok whichever you choose.

They're a little bit higher in the legs in the front...otherwise they appear to be pretty close. I can take pictures of them side-by-side if it'll help.


Also, they're the same price, so that doesn't change.

area51tazz 07-11-2016 12:58 AM

I've PM'd the last two people who ordered suits for payment. We need 10 for the Finis suit and 7 for Turbo

Sadeh189 07-18-2016 08:33 PM

@ area51tazz

Hey! Thanks for the offer to buy one. Do you have any pictures of the suit on an actual guy so I can roughly see how it'll look on me? Thanks!

This is the first order, so no, not really. If you want to see the cut, check out srsport.com or look up Finis Custom water Polo suits...lots of pics of the suit, just a different print. And this is the suit from the 2012 Team GB Dive team...the coveted Tom Daley suit :P

Sadeh189 07-18-2016 11:12 PM

Thanks! I'll check them out. If anyone is interested, I'm selling some briefs.

area51tazz 07-21-2016 12:29 AM

The order has been placed!

Anyone who didn't get their orders in, there won't be a minimum for the second order...so just shoot me a message if you want a pair and we'll work it out.

Also, I updated the graphic above with the FINAL design. Only difference is a white base instead of gray.

area51tazz 08-11-2016 11:50 AM

The suits have shipped from California to Texas. They should arrive next Tuesday, when I will verify addresses and get everything shipped out.

w00!

area51tazz 08-18-2016 06:18 PM

They're here!

I've got them all packaged up, I just haven't had a chance to weigh them individually and print the labels. I'll get them out ASAP!
