Default speedos of the past

Maybe this is becoming a topic to require a thread of its own.
I am fascinated to learn a little more with the help of Louis and am picking up on Singletlover's posts #1 #8 and #15.

It seems that one speedo is recorded as from Phil in 2004 and a Finals suit is mentioned bearing the old Speedoboard logo. Would this not have been one
of many of the yellow roundel invented and printed by Phil on the suits he donated some years ago to Mike at the old Speedo Fantasy Board for distribution?
We have heard of these suits being awarded as competition prizes but can anyone explain the nature of the competitions? (in which some reference was made to "competitive swimmers" I believe).

Any progress yet on a pic of the old yellow logo so that we may all see Phil's creation of the past which must have become a rare collector's piece by now with age having taken its toll on the fabrics?

Such recollections are perhaps appropriate as the new MSSB comes up to its first birthday does it not ? (Mike - was it November 2011?).

Some who do not know the "experiences" website may also be interested to read this: http://www.experienceproject.com/sto...Speedos/946903
