The most substantial change, of course, is that suits would no longer be allowed to extend past the knee.
My personal opinion is this is sort of an arbitrary change. What really should be changed--if anything--is what types of materials are allowed and maybe testing protocol to approve a suit. I don't really think requiring suits to end at the knees would affect much.
What is the point of these rules? Is it because some can't afford the new suits? Why penalize those of us who can? This is playing to the lowest common denominator. The hell with these people.
