  • While I'm not surprised to find that the Blueseventy is not on the approved list, I am confused by the timing. Every indication was that the suits would be legal through 2009. I did bite when they offered a discount through USMS - making it mildly affordable. Since I purchase a new tech suit each year, I decided to splurge. It appears that I made a huge mistake - along with a lot of others I'm sure. Who do you trust if you can't trust the sponsors? Even the local rep understood that it would be useful to the end of the year which made it a lot more attractive, knowing that I'd be able to wear it for 5-6 meets. I smell a rat! Unfortunately, all of my old worn out suits have a Speedo label on them. I think I'm going to get a permanent marker out and eradicate the name!
