“This weather… am I right?” – the classic go-to conversation starter that never fails to break the ice in any awkward elevator ride. Honestly, this weather definitely has me longing for warm summer days. Even though we may be in the heat of winter (bad pun). It doesn’t mean you can’t start considering what you’ll be strutting around in the warm days ahead. Thankfully Teamm8 recently released their 2016 swim line. Which is sure to grab your attention. As a new UNB blogger, I want to make it crystal clear that I am huge supporter of swim briefs. (I am going to launch a campaign; stay tuned). So there are some pieces in this collection that are right up my alley. The 16’ collection features swim briefs, swim shorts, and board shorts. Available in three sophisticated collections: Podium, Pier, and Marine. Each inspired by a unique theme.
The Podium collection couples an Aztec-inspired pattern with a black and white print. Which makes for a more subtle mature look. This collection is available in swim briefs and swim shorts. In this collection the swim shorts have a snap waist. The combination of the intricate pattern and neutral color pallet makes the Podium collection perfect for the day where you want a little edge. But not to be too loud.
The Pier collection combines a clean nautical color pallet. White and teal, with a modern chevron print. This collection features swim briefs, swim shorts and board shorts. Which all have a tie waist. When I look at this pair, I definitely envision myself cutting through waves on a sail boat in the Mediterranean… we can all dream.
Last but not least. The Marine collection blends aquarium-inspired colors into an arrowhead print, for an edgier look. Unlike the Podium and Pier prints, the Marine print is characterized by a stream of blue hues accented with coral highlights throughout. This collection features swim briefs, swim shorts, and board shorts. if you’re not into the Marine print, there is a solid board short option. I definitely recommend the Marine collection to those adventurous guys who want to give off great ocean vibes.
Regarding the deeds. The briefs are cut with a 3″ hip width as well as a solid contrast waistband. Which is a more classic/conservative fit and look. The elastic tubular tie-cord is finished with metal tips and eyelets. Which are crucial for a good pair that will hold up for years of use; I love this feature on swim briefs. The 80% nylon and 20% elastane material is bound to provide a comfortable for all day activates. While the back of the brief is unlined, the front is lined for the extra support and coverage. Currently you can find these directly from the Teamm8 website for around $74 AUD (~$52 USD). The only beef I have with this brief is the center seamed front pouch. Again, this is preferential, but it’s my #1 pet peeve with swim briefs. I will continue to fight for seamless briefs! Are you with me?!
Besides the swim briefs, this collection also includes two cuts of shorts. Standard short and board short, both of which are made of 100% polyester and have an inner lining for added comfort. The board shorts have a longer inseam (knee length), while the swim short let’s your skin breathe a tad bit more (mid-thigh length). The waist bands on both cuts are fully elastic. The front has reinforced tabs for added durability. Also like the swim briefs. The elastic tubular tie-cord is finished with metal tips and eyelets. Both cuts have two side pockets and one back pocket, all of which are finished with accented trims. but the swim shorts feature a zipper for the back pocket. Like the swim briefs. You can catch these directly from the Teamm8 website (both cuts) for $79 AUD (~$56 USD).
While I can appreciate all of the cuts offered in this product line. I’m obviously biased towards the swim briefs, because they ROCK. My taste is more drawn to the Pier collection as I can be a sucker for simple chevron patterns, but to each their own. I definitely need to squeeze my derriere into a pair of these sweet Teamm8 swimmers, kick it at the beach with my girlfriend, and chain-drink pina coladas. Don’t hate, you guys can’t deny their deliciousness

Teamm8 is known for making really really great pairs of underwear. The Medal and Touchdown are two lines that come to my mind. Now they have released the Stadium range. Stadium is is a mix of solid and stripes. Which may sound odd but Teamm8 really makes a fun and sexy pair!
The range has two different styles. Those styles are a brief and a a Trunk. The brief has four colors, where as the trunk only has two. The brief colors are Blue, Green, Navy and Pink. The trunk comes in blue and white. I have to admit I love the green and pink pairs in the brief. My favorite in the trunk is Blue.
This is the description of the Brief:
The stadium brief is sure to get you feeling in fine form with its comfortable blend of high quality cotton and elastane. Its wide metallic waistband feature complements the four solid colours that are available: navy, green, pink or blue. The distinct navy and white stripe print featured on the side panels of the blue and green briefs runs throughout the back in the pink and navy. The stadium collection gives you the confidence you need to separate yourself from the ordinary, without having to stray from stylish simplicity.
Thi sis the description of the Trunk:
The stadium trunk is created for optimum support with its comfortable blend of high quality cotton and elastane and euro-trunk square shape. Its wide metallic waistband feature complements the 2 solid colours that are available: navy or blue. The distinct navy and white stripe print is featured on both side panels, and runs all the way throughout the back. The stadium collection gives you the confidence you need to separate yourself from the ordinary, without having to stray from stylish simplicity
Both are out now! The brief retails for $35 AUD and the Trunk is $37 AUD. Shop the Teamm8 site for this and other pairs.
Work out wear is going through some what of a renaissance lately. It was pretty plain and unassuming before and now its becoming more form fitting and made for working out. It’s even to the point we are going to have dedicated work our wear reviewers on staff! One company really having fun in the space is Teamm8. You know their awesome undies and swimwear but now “taking it to the next level.”
The new collection features t shirts, tanks, hoodies, sweats, runners and more. We have decided to pick out just a few of the pieces to profile.
Muscle Tank available in blue and Black
Jump Short available in blue and black
T8 Tight available in black
Match Hoodie available in black
Find these and more on the Teamm8 website.
Teamm8 has created a new line of work out wear! Included in that is the Mission Tight. Its a black tight with a mission print insert in the side. Tights/runners are becoming very popular. This pair is available on the Teamm8 site for $109

Teamm8 has release the Lone Rider shoot last week. Here is another great picture featuring the Medal trunk in blue. Check out Facebook and Instagram for more pics!
Teamm8 recently did a shoot that features all their new underwear and activewear. That shoot is called Lone Rider. It features the new Medal brief, Hang Short, Rider Pant, Track Hoodie Tee. Enjoy the pictures! Find all the underwear and activewear at the Teamm8 site !
It’s New Underwear season! Over the next few weeks we’ll see a ton of new pairs released. One that has just been released is the new Medal collection from Teamm8! Teamm8 has created some fun pairs in the last year. The Touchdown was one that I loved the colors. They did a great job! Now they have a fun new collection called Medal.
Teamm8 bills this as the most comfortable fit yet. They say this because this is their first Microfiber collection. Meaning it’s made out of a 88% Nylon and 12% Lycra blend. The Medal collection is in a trunk and brief in 4 color combinations. The combinations are almost reverse of each other. Gunmetal and Coral are almost inverses of grey/white/coral and White and Brilliant Blue are color combinations of Black/White/Blue.
The waistband is a wide metallic band. The two bands are in gray and black. Each has the Teamm8 name in it with a matching color. It’s a great band and super stylish. One thing they note about the band is due to the firm waistband they recommend you go up a size. It’s great seeing a brand tell you to go up a size. This is great info to have when buying a pair.
You can find these pairs at the Teamm8 site. The brief retails for $33 AUD and $35 AUD for the trunk!

How much are we looking foward to summer? I will say I’m ready for this winter blah to be over with. Here in Atlanta we go from 70 degrees to 30 degrees and its been a roller coaster of temps. March is here and spring is around the corner and so is warmer weather. Or so they tell me.
While in Vegas I got a chance to meet up with Teamm8! They have some great stuff coming in the next few months. I can’t wait to share them with you guys but in the mean time you can check out the Cabana swim range. The reason I love this range so much is the geometric print they designed. Its just a lot of fun for swimwear. My personal favorite is the pink pair! I mean isn’t the point of wearing a pair of swim briefs is to be seen? Why not get some great color to be seen. I bet you will get a ton of complaints as well!
The collection has briefs, trunk and swim short but we are just focusing on the brief. The two colors of the brief is the pink I mentioned above and blue. Each is amazing. The blue is a little more subdued but still a great design. On top of that the pair has a cool waistband with a drawstring that ties in the fun and shows on each size. Made from 80% Nylon and 20% Elastane so it will hold up to the surf, sun and pool!
If you aren’t a swim brief fan like I said check out the swim trunk and short in the same pattern. Also the swim short could make a great cover up for the brief. Wear it to the beach or pool and take it off to relax in the brief in the sun! The brief retails for $69 AUD at the Teamm8 website.
Last year we launched the Swim Brief Challenge. We will continue this again this year. But before we get in the full swing we thought we should give you guys a few suggestions for those who have never worn a swim brief in public. We aren’t going to list any super skimpy designs but some fuller cuts that you can build up your confidence before going full on swim bikini!
Pistol Pete Lifeguard Brief – Pistol Pete has great swimwear! This pair is a fuller cut with 2 stripes on the side. Available in white, blue or red for $39.50
Aronik Perdition. Aronik has amazing pics of their swim. They have some super fun prints but you can go classic with the Perdition. Perdition is a solid black swim brief for $92.00
Bwet Caledonia – Not everyone wants a solid pair. You can show some personality and not go over the top with the Caledonia wish is a red/navy/white color block pair. 45 Euros-
Teamm8 Dash – They have created a simple yet amazing swim brief. This brief is higher cut on the thigh and is available in white, red, black, navy and pink. $59 AUD
CSX 77 Retro Swim Brief – This may seem an odd choice for a swim brief challenge but the new Cocksox. The CSX line has a full cut pair without the famous Cocksox pouch.It has a color stripe on the right hip. Available in white, black or red. $49.00
If you’re going to brave out in a swim brief this year let us know. If you are going to wear one and have question email us! We want more guys to wear them out in public. We are hoping to change public opinion on them!

I saw a few of these pictures in Vegas, I’m glad they released this behind the scenes video. I hope you enjoy the video!
I am excited to get to review for everyone the teamm8 Mate Brief in white. I was blown away when I got them. I absolutely loved them as soon as I saw them. They are the low cut briefs in white and they have a draw string waist.
At first I wondered if they were swim trunks, but they are 95% cotton 5% Elastane, ad they don’t have a lined crotch area so I realize they are underwear.
I have always loved underwear with a draw string waist. I don’t know why, they are sexy, comfy, fun and if you eat a lot you can adjust the waist.
I decided the second I saw these that they were going to be for special occasions. I didn’t wear them to work for a day but I would rear them out for a special night.
When I first pulled them on I totally LOVED them. They were comfy and very sexy The cut is perfect and have the right amount of room in the front and the butt. The waist we perfect because you tie them to your liking.
Throughout the night they were perfect. The drawstring waist was comfy, not too tight and not too lose. The leg openings were snug but not so tight that they hurt or were binding.
I am pleased to say I was told how sexy they look on me. I wont go into details but I have worn them once since them and I love them. I wear a size medium and these fit perfectly.

I recommend you get a pair of the Teamm8 Mate Draw String Briefs for those special occasions or for everyday wear. Teamm8 furnished this pair for review.
There is something comforting about being part of a team. At UNB, I have been able to become part of a great underwear team. A team that brings the underwear loving public what they need and want to know about all things underwear! You can imagine my excitement when Teamm8 became my newest teammate in my underwear drawer.
I received the Teamm8 Racer Brief in Navy. The look of this brief is very athletic and sporty, living up to the company name. It has the athletic theme stripes in the front around the package and a great orange and navy color combination up against the white waistband. A look that I think portrays team spirit. The pair is a cotton and elastane mix which is a great combination for comfortable wear all day. Like many underwear companies today, they allow for extra room in the pouch for the more endowed men and a fuller cut in the back for the butt men.
I wore the pair through my typical work day as I normally do with my new underwear pairs. To me, it is important to see if a pair can handle an average day, otherwise it does not pop up in rotation too often. This pair did not disappoint! I was comfortable all day long. I did not have any problems with chaffing, riding up, or excessive adjustment.
I wear a medium and when I received this pair it was a small. I was nervous because my first thought was “oh great these won’t fit.” I was wrong. They fit me great. I was pleasantly surprised that a small fit me so well and they did not feel too small throughout the day. Teamm8’s website does reference this by saying “if you don’t need the extra room, just order a size smaller.” Although this is good advice before purchasing, it may confuse many customers who wonder if they are endowed enough or have a bigger butt for their normal size or a size down. I consider myself average but would have not ordered a small just from my typical ordering habits.
Overall, if you get the right size, you won’t be disappointed when you wear the pair. They say there is no “I” in team but I sure am glad that I am in this Teamm8 pair!

We LOVE Teamm8! I got a chance to hang out with them at Magic! They are an amazing bunch and super fun! So make sure you go check out the undies and swim!
We have some good news and some bad news. If you were a fan of the Dash brief, well its no longer around. But the good news is that the Mate brief is back and now replaces it! Teamm8 makes really great fun underwear.
The Mate is a low cut design. This year we have seen the trent of lower cut briefs come on to the market. This makes is a perfect suit to show off all the hard work you have been doing in the gym. Teamm8 says this new super low cut will give it an edge and I agree! The suit also features signature metal tip tie-cord. Which is not something you see in underwear every day
The Mate has a 95% cotton and 5% elastine fabric. The construction features a front seam that will that will give you extra support though a nice pouch. You maybe asking what colors does it come in? Well they have white, black, blue and grey marle. They aren’t super bright colors, if you’re looking for something super bright this may not be for you. If on the other hand you want to have a really great pair of undies with an amazing fit, these are for you.
They retail on the Teamm8 site for $31AUD (Australian Dollar)
FlashAvenue Studio sent us some great pics to share with you guys. Model (Left) William Prost wearing Teamm8 Underwear – signature brief pink. Model (Right) Lewis Woodley wearing Teamm8 Underwear – classic brief watermelon. We hope to work with them a lot more and showcase some more of their work!
