Anyone know why "Speedo" is markered out on the women's swim team swim caps?

Question

Just wondering. I've noticed it on a number of their caps. It's odd though because it says Speedo on their suits, so why not the caps?

Answer 1

Speedo can sponsor the teams but they can't advertise on their uniforms.

Yes, I know there are Speedo, NIKE, etc symbols on team attire but the ones on the caps are too conspicuous and are not allowed on the Olympic program. You'd think Speedo could have just made the teams caps without the advertising to avoid this huh?

If they didn't have these rules could you see Michael Phelps sweats? We wouldn't be able to tell if he was with FINA or NASCAR...LOL

Answer 2

IDK, but when I swam there was some dumb rule that the logo could only be so big, maybe that's why.

Answer 3

Hmm. I didn't notice that.
