i don't know about posing trunks nowadays. i mean each year their getting smaller and smaller and yes, more colorful and even different kind of fabric. i mean let's face it their getting very, very gay! i mean they look like either what a male stripper would wear or the guys have been ordering and wearing the women pro's posing trunks either my mistake or design!!!!
compare what the top pros and amateurs were wearing from the 70's and 80's and now!! hell, even only10 years ago the trunks were basic solid covers and not as tiny.
the only 2 pros that i know of that don't seem to wear these kind of tiny, gay color/fabric posing trunks are cutler and ruhl, they seem to go with the standard black trunks.
one one hand maybe i'm over reacting, perhaps the guys think their "showmen" and the suit is an extension and display of that or just shows off as much as their physiques as possible for the judges? i don't think the guys actually think to themselves "hmm, my suit is way too tiny, and gay looking!" but then again surely they have to wonder to themselves " damn, what' next? in a few years from now" what is going to be the norm?!!!!
