Whatever rocks your boat. Bit too flashy for me, and as Speedo admit - aimed at the younger market.
I notice at competition meets that whilst almost every competitor wears jammers for the events, warm ups and swim downs are usually done wearing briefs, and the variety of designs / patterns is overwhelming. Really colourful patterns are common. Think much of this is down to Funky Trunks, but others brands have followed. Never really like Funky Trunks - the cut is less than flattering for any guy - Speedos do much better in this respect.
Speedos - the only way to swim...

Personally I quite like patterns and colour after being stuck with navy and black for so long lol...
Just wish they did a bigger range of colours tbh

I have seen these and the other design with the teeth which I also like.
I contacted speedo about the the maximum size and these only go up to a size 34" waist. Speedo say these designs are aimed at the younger market.
The Skulls brief is Scottishspeedo's picture from his link.
Hope you didn't mind me doing this?
I think these suits are pretty cool looking? Are they available and where?

Only in a size 34” waist. I contacted Speedo UK and I was informed these are aimed at the younger market. If you are like me in a 38” waist or you take a 36” waist then sorry.
I have also checked the Speedo USA site and these are not listed.
Love speedos, running shorts, rugby shorts, Aussie rules footy shorts.

Oh, not good. Hope you get it sorted.
What part of the east coast are you from?
northern Angus/ Perthshire border area.

Yourself?
My ancestors lived at Cortachy near Forfar for many hundreds of years.

Interesting, I have relations in a few places, one of them is BC, Canada, my dads grandparents seemingly went out to farm, but were rained out and returned to Scotland.....

If they have size 26 or 28 I'd buy them.
Yes they do, they go down to a 24 and up to a 34, covering all sizes in between

24 ?Boy they do want the boy market!
When you said size 26 or 28 I was thinking “boy” as I was pondering on how an adult male could possibly have a waist six inches smaller than my 32” waist.

It would seem that a 26” waist would belong to a person who is about 5’ 2” tall and about 110 lbs.

One of my swim shops had these bright stuff only going up to size 28. They seem to Target older people with boring colors

A lot of swimmers/divers wear 2 to 3 sizes too small for hydrodynamic reasons, same for male and female swimmers...hence why they look so crushingly tight......
