Default Roger's Outfit - Ugggghhhhhh!

I'm nothing if not a Federer fan, but his latest outfit really fuels the fire that either his sartorial sense is really bad or the folks at Nike are really bad designers.

I mean wtf is this -

WTF... and I thought the freaking cardigan was bad. Seriously, how in the world did he ever think this was a good idea.

If its a high-fashion statement from the catwalks of Europe, then I don't get it. Can't they keep his outfits simple and elegant - like the man himself?

...and look at the gold-and-white bag in the first photo... that belongs to Maria Sharapova not an ATP tennis player.

I'd have to agree with you......... It comes across as they're trying to give him the modern yet vintage look using the jacket and waistcoat??!!! First pic makes me think of a sailors outfit.

Can't he just stick to normal dress? I suppose his contract with Nike ensures that won't happen.....

Oh my god can it get any worse?
I doubt this is Nike...they would surely realise the marketing flop. He looks like a right royal smugness, trying to play up to his media image of perfection. Barely appropriate for the sport. Belongs at a snooker table.

He's very simple otherwise - he prefers a t-shirt and jeans. I think its the stupid folks at RF/Nike that manage his outfits and image who do a disservice to him.

What's for next year, a three piece white suit with a coat-tail and a gallon hat??

Agreed, the jacket is ugghhh!

However, the waistcoat and trousers look nice. Kind of classic in a way with a modern flair.

The bag is a bit over the top. If the sun comes out that could blind folks sitting across the court from it.

I said before, when referring to the 'Pink Shirt', I don't care what they wear, however, I draw the line at leather chaps.

Roger is very stylish, and what he wears is fashionable. The same goes for Nadal-these bright colours are going to be seen next year as apparently there is going to be a lot of hippie influence, or something along those lines I believe.
I have to wonder though, who these designers are, and how I am still unemployed?


I think he looks all right, very 30s-ish. The bag has to go though.
