I have the poster. Had it in my (now-closed) swim shop for years. It shows a full fontal image of Gary Hall, Jr. in his Olympic Aquablade speedo in royal/sapphire. Speedo logo on left; "USA" on right. Four 1996 Olympic medals hanging around his neck (Mark Spitz revisited), two gold and two silver.
The poster is double sided (identical images on both sides) and mounted on heavy poster board.
It's surprising that no references to this poster can be found online. It was (is) iconic of that Olympic year, but clearly Speedo used it as promotion alter the Olympics, not before.
