Default What brand is this?

What brand is the suit the 3 guys are wearing? The one with the fishbones on them. I like that cut!

Default Blue Planet?

It is difficult to make out the details of that fish bones logo. But it looked somewhat familiar.

This is a picture of my "Blue Planet Surf Gear" rash guard I picked up at a thrift store several years ago.


Blue Planet Surf Gear rashguard, dark green, front-right by C J, on Flickr

The logo is similar, but different. And in looking at the website for Blue Planet Surf Gear, the logo has been altered a little from the one on my gear, but it is still different from the logo on those swim briefs, as you can see, below.



Besides, as their name implies, Blue Planet makes surf gear, and while rashguards are snug like swim briefs, they do serve a specific purpose for surfers to protect them from rashes (hence the name) -- but I am doubtful that swim briefs have ever been a product they sell.

Guess we will have to keep looking for this mystery brand.

Default I want one.

I have looked but without success. Wondering if it was a custom made for a swim team. I have searched for that print and the emblem and have come up empty.

Lol before I clicked on the pic, I knew exactly which it was because I killed several hours trying to find out and failed.

The pic probably came from this tublr post or the same place "Greenspeedos" found it

Original pic


Making matters worse, the cutie on the right of the original pic (above) is also wearing a mystery suit in the second pic (below). (On the left)



Any ideas? "ETE"?

Here is one that stumped me today, can't find a high enough quality version of the pic to read the logo I love the suit and want to buy one.

And shortly after the above, another one came up. I will need to dig on this but if anyone can spot it easily, please chime in. It's a beautiful suit. Maybe someone can recognize the black tag on the right hip.

The guys in the "fish bone" suits have speedo tan lines but are used to wearing something slightly more covering than the fishbone suits.

The photo where he is displaying the Brazilian flag shows him to have an "Aztec" tattoo on his wrist and a crucifix earing. Suggesting Brazil, South American and Christian. Maybe from a city in Brazil, South American and a big crucifix statue and a famous beach, I am led to Rio de Janeiro, famous for it's rich mixture of races from Europe, Africa and the indigenous population.

The style of the artwork in the "On the Beach" and "Virgin Island" swim briefs in the photos looks very much like that used by Turbo, we have had this situation before where unknown brands have been traced to Rio and then lost there. So I suggest that these are Turbo water polo suits with club logos on (instead on brand logos), Turbo even do several versions of the distressed union jack suit in the photo.
Since many Turbo suits are made to order you'd never be able to find them from stock.
