Tom in Team GB suit for Rio!
 

Worth seeing the new kit moving:
"My trunks are quite small, it's kind of how it is" - but we love it!

Great racer cut suit in the video--seems to have a very Asian cut influence!

But I also just love the look of these jammers, here! Wow!

right?

also, why do they not sell them?!?! ugh! lol

I guess that is one of the perks of being on the Olympic team? Exclusive designed swimwear. But, yeah, I'd love to get myself a pair of those jammers!!

They do have SOME replica gear available for purchase...

(Lycra lovers, note that they do have the cycling kit for sale!)

... but none of the swimwear. :confused:

Ohh!!! I really like the style of the rugby shorts in this web!!! the color is ugly but the cut is like a old fashion short-short (no bermudas) http://shop.teamgb.com/stores/TeamGB...---mens/175362

My goodness, those suits are attractive! I think they look much cooler than the 2012 ones, much more stylized. Stella McCartney sure did a great job!







*continues to man-crush on Tom Daley*

I really liked the fit and the "short" of the new male sportswear
Slowly men's sportswear is returning to "shorten" to go back to how it was before.
perhaps in 10 years more the men we back massively to wear short-shorts at the streets in summer time and wear speedos at the beaches like the 70’s and 80’s.
But I have a question, Who decides when men's sportswear is shortened or enlarged?,
What are the criteria they use to lengthen or shorten the menswear?

Rio swim brief
 

Good quote from Tom Daley: "My trunks are quite small, it's kind of how it is".
Hopefully Arena will get around to selling the brief, as they did with the Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2014 brief (see the New Team GB Speedo thread) but without the games logo. I suspect we will see them on the Arena website in the September, but without the Rio 2016 logo.
Zungaboy, in answer to your question as to who decides on fashion and whether shorts or briefs or bikini, small or baggy - in the UK is it the press. Newspapers made fun of David Beckham, many years ago, when he appeared on a hotel balcony wearing tiny white underbriefs. It is the press that pokes ridicule at celebrities or politicians who are snapped by the paparazzi on the beach in Speedos. This puts off normal guys from wearing Speedos.

Thank you underwaerphill
I like the words of Tom Daley about his new “smaller speedo”, I think he is right when he say about “smaller is better”. ALSO when he took a time to say it, he was doing “public relations” from the sportswear manufacturer to the people, who are who wil buy the speedos to wear at the beach in a near future.
I think at the future (10 or 20 years more) we will back to wear smaller shorts-shorts at the streets in the cities and smaller swim briefs at the beaches like at the 70’s and 80’s.
Reading the news about the new smaller speedo of Tom also I conclude that at present time is “the industry” (business –trade) that decides “what we must to accept” in our lives and “what we shouldn’t to accept” as "ethical" or "morally" (decades ago was the church and state). However I keep wondering. What are the criteria they use to allow or restrict “what is right” to do or “what we mustn´t to do”, eat, play or wear… for the people?
