    I think my favorite is the first one with his black costume :)

    I wonder what's their usual weight. Colorful costume.

    I love lobster and the blue costume has a lobster on the emblem, so that on gets my vote. :) Amazing colors on those costumes, by the way!

    This is the first time I've seen them in anything but the g-string looking thing they wear in the matches. Never knew there was a fashion component to the sport!
