Their research says having suits that have dimples (like golf balls) rather than the historically smooth suits, will shave a few hundreths of a second off times. In this sport, that could be the difference between winning a metal or not winning. Too funny on the crotch color difference. I have no clue what they were thinking when they decided that angle.

They just copied Petro Canada's logo!

BTW...those three guys yhortling and chortling in the above pic? Petro Canada's senior executives...

Maybe the material for the crotch area is a different type that produces less friction as the inner thighs rub against each other.
Or it could be to just show off the crotch - like this:
