These Purdue Guys may have overdid it just a bit on the undersizing!

Yippee - got there in the end (though need new specs.)
Thanks Sebbie - had seen the footballers before and imagined myself just bouncing off them if I attempted a tackle !

[Byron]

Sebbie - have I picked up another Purdue swimmer here?
(the black Speedo seems to be quite plain, unless there is a butt logo too)

Byron - I believe that swimmer is a member of the University of the Pacific team (located in Stockton, California). The "P" with that orange slice through it is similar to the baseball caps the university sells here: http://shop.pacifictigers.com/

[sebbie]

the cap gold is completely the wrong shade for Purdue.

[sebbie]

Swimboy is right. Note the little Orange thingy on the top left corner of the "P" on both photos. And that's a TIGER gold colored cap not Purdue Old Gold.

Had my doubts - thanks for enlightenment guys

(funnily enough it's a black lion's head I am also trying to retrace for the cap on the guy in the unmarked little blue speedo)

[sebbie]

Is the orange thingee on the "P" supposed to be a tiger tooth or a tiger claw, or both?

[Byron]

Just for Swimmboy - but from the WP team this time and a great pic. of no.8:

I could not make out the team logo on his black suit but it is no doubt a Tiger head.
Note for Sebbie: this PACIFIC on swim cap is without the claw or tooth snags
(an extra printing chore thought not to be necessary on fabric perhaps)

PS: Worth looking at some good WP vids produced by Pacific Sports too (amongst a
total of 48): http://www.pacifictigers.com/sports/m-wpolo/video/index

Yep, those water polo guys are studs for sure. University of the Pacific has had a great water polo team for many years, and a great swim team as well. A guy who grew up near me (on the U.S. East Coast) attended college there - and won two gold medals on the US Olympic swim team in Atlanta in 1996 - then attended the Sydney Olympics playing water polo for the US WP team!
