team suits

Post by speedorob86 » Mon Nov 16, 2020 10:04 am

why are team suits so expensive (or get bid up to such a high price on ebay)?

is it the fantasy? the design?

waterpolo team suits, or team GB diving, etc.

It’s because they don’t come along very often. Olympics, Commonwealth games, swim and diving competitions. You can go on TYR’s uk site and buy a pair of British swimming trunks that jack laugher and Tom Daley both wear at comps. Link below.

https://tyr.co.uk/british-swimming-coll ... -9442.html

The Adidas team gb trunks are becoming few and far between to buy so as they become rarer the price goes up. Same goes for the commonwealth games trunks by arena. I have all 3 pairs and I wouldn’t sell them.

I am also hoping Adidas will release some men’s swim trunks similar to the ones team gb will be wearing. These should be selling for about £30 a pair if anything like last time is to go by.
Be quick if these do get released because they will sell out fast.

Those are some good looking suits. I'm a fan of suits with smaller sides...

Do the "civilian" versions you can buy have small sides like that?

These suits have an awesome fit. Thanks for posting. Man, I'd buy one in a heartbeat, just for the cut/style, in a solid color, without the team logos.

Agreed! I love those suits. Great looking cut.

I don't get it. Adidas had amazing advertising for suits that you can't actually buy!

I think the prices reflect the supply/demand imbalance. Advertise anything with sex appeal in front of a billion people and it's going to create some demand.

Yeah. I'm wondering if Adidas custom makes them to measure for each athlete? The fit is so perfect, particularly in the butt.

They could sell a jillion of these.
