Retro Speedos
 
1 Attachment(s)
Reorganising my drawers of swimwear, I found this pair of Speedos (dating from the 1980's, and I think, produced in time for the LA Olympics - could someone confirm or refute this fact).
Anyway, the sun is out, so thought I would wear them again

I've looked quite a bit and can't find any leads. Sorry! Nice suit though!

LA Olympics
 
I had a suit with the same star pattern but in Navy blue which I believe was an LA Olympic style suit.

love them!!!

would love a pair!

anything with stars on them and retro :)

Loking fantastic, Phil
 
In looking at them, and noticing the stars, I immediately wondered if they were from or inspired by the Olympic games held in Los Angeles in 1984.

I see now another has suggested the same thing, so I am guessing my initial hunch may be correct.

In doing a little searching I did find, however, that the official team suits were solid blue made by Arena.



At any rate, Phil, that is one sweet suit, and you wear it very well!

olympics
 
Here is a photo from the 1984 olympics:

This neither proves not disproves the claim.

the diving team (Greg Louganis) wore white suits but the pattern on the front was entirely different -- covered most of the front of the suit.

Way back in the 70's, I worked at Scout camp for several summers. All the staff wore speedos back then - every one of us - it was the style. It didn't hurt that we were all pretty much bronze gods from working outside all day all summer and most of us were 16-19 years old and in our prime. My speedo suit (again, it was the 70's) was an orange paisley print - wish I could find a pic of it. It would be quite the throwback.

Scout Camp
 
From what I heard about scout camp in the 60's and 70's you were overdressed compared to many of them where swimsuits were rarely worn.

I found my 1986 Speedo brand recreational suit made with a corduroy textured two-wat stretch and lined. Very provocative cut for the time. Wore it on my Catalina 25 sailing the inland lake and enjoyed it all day long. It was a ball hugger with no pouch cut, but, was very comfortable.

I really like the look of this suit! Thanks for sharing! (Got any more pics of it?)

That would have been great. They weren't quite that open. However, each camp had a couple of gang showers, as well as a separate staff gang shower which was about 50 yards away from the staff tents. It was not unusual at all for us staff guys to walk nude to/from the showers day or night, nor was it uncommon for the scouts and their leaders to do the same walking to/from their showers.

Captain; I will shoot a couple more for your examination and add them to the original post if I can. I have never seen another suit like it. especially from Speedo. This on is a size 30..

Awesome on the pics! Yeah that is a rather unique suit from Speedo!
Oh, well, size 30 is way too small for me, so rest easy... there is no threat of me trying to steal it from you. :rolleyes:
