[PSDave]

its ironic -- the first Monsterpolo suit I got was the CCCP suit. I had been there just before the fall and it was cool to get one of the suits as a reminder. Not really the same these days ---

Me to but mine was a Turbo no a Monsterpolo, it was all white and had CCCP in big red letters on the front and back and Russia was no longer USSR AT THE TIME.
On Turbo s web site I beleave they still have a CCCP suit buit a different one.
Perhaps during the USSR era Russia had waterpolo teamsthus CCCP Oon there suits.

Not a team then Louis but as you mention Turbo their latest w-p suit for Russia is not bad and is appropriate - it has the double headed eagle and the white, red, blue, for the flag.
(LOL - if I was a Dutchman visiting Moscow I might think that someone has
been messing about with my national flag) (the same goes for Italy and Mexico - sometimes they are too close).

[louis]

ok yes kind of similar a bit

Thanks - good one
(you must be a mindreader - I wanted to look it up after you mentioned it !)

hm I got a response to a e-mail I sent them. I was asking about their color collection. unfortunately you need to order a minimum of 5 to get them. I also never found out what they are made of. Swimmboy, what does yours feel like? nylon or nylon blend?

"Confusion reigned and they all got wet"

Maybe a little clarification is needed here:

PS Dave clearly says he once had the Monster red CCCP w-p suit.

Louis says "me too" but I think he means the white Turbo Kremlin suit
with red CCCP lettering and carrying an image of what is probably the Spasskaya Tower - and illustrated here :

Turbo certainly seem to have followed also with an all red w-p suit design for CCCP but this was with yellow lettering and yellow hammer and sickle ( and is I believe on the website http://shop.waterpolocity.co.uk).
