Unfortunately, true.
Go into a big box sporting goods store and consider yourself lucky if they sell any briefs. If they do, you get a choice of navy blue or black.
Contrast that with the 1980s, when Speedo had stores in most major shopping malls. You could easily max out a credit card without making a dent in their inventory.
Speedos need to fit perfectly, so online shopping isn’t a viable alternative to hitting a local store. Fortunately my city has a wonderful swim shop with a good selection.
