[SwimTeamSpeedo]

Back in my swim team days, briefs were the only choice for guys, and on race day we wore really tight and tiny swimsuits that almost barely covered everything, aka the famous "paper suits." The best part was that the everyday practice briefs had lots of colors and prints. Tyr at the time had some pretty radical Hawaiian print floral briefs that looked amazing on. By the mid to late 90's the selection of briefs dropped to some more basic solids, a few splice colors, but not the bold colors and prints. Even the jammers, which had a better selection, were not much more exciting. Finally, we are seeing more options in the briefer cut suits. New names like Turbo and Monster are entering the market, and more and more of the fitness swimming guys are starting to switch back. I think the emergence of a new reign of swimmers who seem confident in their swimsuits helps, Phelps, Lochte, Daley all showing up in awesome looking swimsuits and getting real attraction from the ladies shows that fit guys look great in the right swimwear. I have faith that the circle of fashion is starting to make its way back around. It seems to be doing the same in running shorts, and even in men's casual shorts.
