Default seems like a similar pair here as well

This guy seems to be wearing a similar pair as in Post #1 pic.

However a close look at the logo on the left of the speedo seems to suggest that the guy with the red speedo has three written lines whereas the guy in the green speedo only has the TYR logo and TYR written on his (2 lines).

I wonder if the red speedo is in fact TYR??

Thanks speedo boys!

Default TYR quest

Yes, I was a little unsure when I posted the red diver in the drawstrings thread.
The photo does not have the best resolution but the logo coming nearest to that would be Emporio Armani.
TYR has the wings of the Nordic God but EA's wings include an eagle head.

You haven't posted the green suit as far as I can see.

Btw, the impossible will be achieved immediately - miracles take a little longer

Default green suit comparison

Sorry for the mishap, here is the green suit

It does seem that the green suit individual does have larger sides to it compared to the red suit. Hence, you might be correct Byron, it's not the same suit.

I checked out the Emporio Armani suits on International Jock website, it's not it. They have a different logo; it's only EA eagle symbol and nothing else written underneath it.

Default Ok ....

Not much doubt about green one - but side seam may be only fractionally deeper than red one.
A strange black material appears at the guy's right hip in the green one - that cannot be like that from the manufacturer - and there is a ruche on R - which may be accountable by drawstring tag beneath (it does seem to be very long).

Sherlock Holmes has been summoned.....

The style of the green suit photo suggests that it is quite an old picture.
The green suit is not just matt but appears to be faded matt. I suspect that this is an old faded suit photographed a long time ago, probably with a film camera (the pixels don't break up easily. My guess is that this is an early 1980's nylon suit.

There are 2 lines of text on the red suit, and some white text/logo under the swimmers left hand. The photo breaks up as soon as it is zoomed in on, suggesting a basic digital camera.
I suggest the red suit is TYR Durafast: http://www.tyr.com/shop/solid-durafast-racer.html
