Default interesting the change

Watching the vidoe from 1972 (See Byron post above), it is interesting to see how much more brief the traditional Speedo suit has become. In the early 90's, (late 80's) the suits got real brief with the paper suit era. After that, male competitive swim attire made a big shift the other way. Funny that when Jammers and the more technical swim suits came along, the briefs appear to have not moved back toward the wider side seams.

On a side note, it is cool that more and more younger swimming guys are moving back to briefs( in my observation), at least for practice.
