The largest and most visible swim suits at Trials was the Speedo FST II, Speedo is an official US Olympic team sponsor and thus had an inside advantage.
But surprisingly Nike had several make the team as did TYR.
I am not sure if amy other suit maker placed swimmers on the team.
The biggest talk in the stands was how the swimmers did NOT like the new Speedo suits. Most men staid away from the Speedo Fastskin II full body suit. Phelps would wear the full jammers, but did not wear the restrictive full body suit.
More men with full body suits wore the TRY, while Nike had several World Records set in their mens Jammer suits.

I found the last fastskin had more shoulder room and very little restriction in the sleeveless kneeskin. The original S2000 was restrictive.
My information at trials was the Fastskin II is very restrictive to shoulder movement. Did you notice there were very few men wearing the full body suit. If they were signed with Speedo, they wore the jammer or long jammers. Many of the larger women who wore the full body Fastskin II suts were wearing mens:D
Talk about full circle, there was a time when the men wore the womens full body suits for extra speed.
I heard the TYR is less restrictive, did not see any men in the Nike full body suits, only a couple of women. The men wore the Nike jammers.
