A water polo team were given a dressing down on Thursday for wearing trunks with an ‘inappropriate’ likeness of their state flag.</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Singapore water polo team criticised for 'inappropriate' ...</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/154140?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:27:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fbb68fd5-ec09-4f30-a489-fddb5ed4349c</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Cool!

However, I have to make the observation that despite some people&amp;#39;s reservation about wearing briefs, they are in fact a lot less &amp;#8220;revealing&amp;#8221;  than jammers or a tech suit. 

Just compare the suits in the photo versus guys in jammers  -with a rather pointed lump as prominent as the TransAmerica Pyramid on the San Francisco skyline!!! :bolt:

Well, they are called banana hammocks...

I am certain that is what the flap is about.  Question is, would it have been better if the crescent was in the back?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Singapore water polo team criticised for 'inappropriate' ...</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/153880?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:12:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:06dc8011-1116-4fcf-b703-5487d59e92f2</guid><dc:creator>knelson</dc:creator><description>Hey in the 70&amp;#39;s didn&amp;#39;t we all wear flags on most of our stuff??

Back in high school during the late 60&amp;#39;s, we would wear out beloved blue jeans until they practically fell apart. We would often use American flag patches as a means to mend them and hold them together. I also remember some of the guys would use an American flag patch to fix the tears they frequently got in the crotch of their jeans. A most unusual display of patriotism to say the least.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Singapore water polo team criticised for 'inappropriate' ...</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/153840?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Nov 2010 10:08:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:7d2b2db4-6e1a-4827-9ad4-e81288aa9dcf</guid><dc:creator>smontanaro</dc:creator><description>Not just on our stuff.

Back in the late 70&amp;#39;s Dolphin tested a &amp;quot;mesh&amp;quot; suit that you could see through for goodness sake.  This is nothing.  Mountains out of molehills.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
