But I'm saying maybe the CBs could have some new type of foam, a cooler, more foamy foam

I just hope there is no drastic change on the Vapors, I really like em.

Hopefully Nike takes in consideration that RF said in a OZ Open '12 Nike showing promo that he hopes to play in the Vapor 9 for a couple of years. We don't want to see a repeat of Vapor 7/8 being replaced by 6 again or in this case Vapor 9 while the X are out and being pushed by Nike with commercials, posters, etc. etc.

Regarding apparel, for Fed a Court Green or maybe a bit darker Court Green tone Polo with maybe Volt accents on the border around the collar of the Polo and on the border of the sleeves. White shorts with maybe a green or volt going all the way down on the sides. Vapors would be White/Green w Volt details.

Rafa, I would put him in very bright yellow with navy crew with light grey shorts and bright yellow details. Shoes would be white/grey and yellow details

Del Po is always in blue. He is the next Federer haha.

Said it before: Nike needs to stop making Fed's gear so dull. a) add some cool venting on the back like the mid-2000's; b) platinum, gold, or silver.

I agree with everything you just stated WCA but I doubt Nike will change Fed's image. He is a classic guy with polos, but I do wish he would wear some shirts from the 2002-2005 era.

Predictions? Nah, I think most of the thing here are just our hopes and wants. And for predictions, my best guess would be Nike jacking up the price again hahaha

That is a sure thing.

What colours do you think Fed, Rafa and Del Po will be sporting?

Well, here are my mixes of want and prediction:

Fed: More v-neck or crews (in terms of quantity or quality is both fine), I havent been pleased with most of his crews). Would like to see him more in yellow and pink again and REAL green (I dont count Wimbledons). For the polos, I'd love if there are sth other than plain colosr (like RG11, recent Spring lines) A pink shoes wouldn't hurt either

Rafa: The last few years his stuff has been EXTREMELY BORING. So I hope that Nike will give him a makeover, sth like Polos and Cargo is decent already. Don't care about the colors then, just more variety.

Potro: his line has always been very mainstream do I don't care as well. But I hope some of his stuff would be similar to Fed's and Rafa's or match them so I can save some money lol. And a better designed 2k12.

Pink Vapors for Fed would be awesome. I know Nike wont but still a man can dream right?

Agree 100% on Nadals shirts/shorts being super boring. I hope Nike will change it up for 2013.

[ductrung3993]

who knows, they did come out with something like this haha

True..

Spring colours (hopefully)
- Spring Mint
- Fresh Aqua
- Earth Cream
- Zap (bright pink)
- Seafoam
- Vivid Red

I actually want Rafa's shoes to be all Aqua with matching Aqua socks. That would be intense!

Nadal back in Polos! Those were awesome!

Awesome predictions man

[Borrelli]

I'd like to see Fed back in White/Gold for Wimbledon, the ugly volt accent removed from all vapor's and prices to come back down to earth. None will likely happen.

[Rhino]

I'd like an version of the Vapor 9 with the RF logo on it.

[rdis10093]

fed in french pink polo or crews

[T-Rex]

Hope that Nike will release two tone bandanna and wristbands again like in 2008
