Retro Speedos

[underwearphil]

Reorganising my drawers of swimwear, I found this pair of Speedos (dating from the 1980's, and I think, produced in time for the LA Olympics - could someone confirm or refute this fact).
Anyway, the sun is out, so thought I would wear them again

I've looked quite a bit and can't find any leads. Sorry! Nice suit though!

I had a suit with the same star pattern but in Navy blue which I believe was an LA Olympic style suit.

love them!!!

would love a pair!

anything with stars on them and retro

In looking at them, and noticing the stars, I immediately wondered if they were from or inspired by the Olympic games held in Los Angeles in 1984.

I see now another has suggested the same thing, so I am guessing my initial hunch may be correct.

In doing a little searching I did find, however, that the official team suits were solid blue made by Arena.



At any rate, Phil, that is one sweet suit, and you wear it very well!

Here is a photo from the 1984 olympics:

This neither proves not disproves the claim.

the diving team (Greg Louganis) wore white suits but the pattern on the front was entirely different -- covered most of the front of the suit.
