It may or may not have been arrogant but it definitely was a bit much immediately after the match.

I think the BBC knew about it, because they showed the Nike congratulations video after the match.

... Did you watch the end of the match? After he was handed the jacket, he examined it closely. I was wondering why at the time.

Well, when someone handed him the jacket after the match, I'm assuming he looked and saw the 15. Of course he knew when Sue asked him about it, but I'm not sure if he knew about it before the match, which some people seem to think he did.

I heard rumous that Roddick stole Fed's jacket but he crossed over the number 5 on the 15.

But he still put it on Roger has said himself, he doesn't like Players who go up to their Player camps/box when they win, its not in good taste, yet he feels its ok and in good taste to rub in how many slams he has won by wearing that Jacket

[yung goon]

hypocrite!

[aleexxxxx]

Had this been a straight sets win for fed this wouldn't be a big deal. It's because of the crushing loss that roddick took that makes this look alot worse. Also this should be blamed by Nike not federer.

??? Huh

It was the perfect time for Nike to make money. It is a business to them not a sport.

[DarthFed]

This board is hilarious...

Roddick is pretty much unanimously hated, im one of his few fans but as soon as fed is involved everyone is sympathetic for Roddick and all his years of arrogant brash statements and umpire abuse are forgotten and he's the poor golden child who lost his chance at making history thanks to Lucifer Federer.

I really think you are making a big deal out of this. Someone gave him the jacket, he put it on. I'm sure he did not put the jacket on just to rub it in people's faces.

One silly question;

would Roddick have pulled out of this bag a Lacoste jacket with the number 2 on it should he have won the match?

But I know people will continue bashing him regardless.

Yeah I heard that this morning as well, on Mike and Mike in the Morning. In fact I gathered that he didn't even know there was a 15 on the jacket until it was pointed out to him!

ne ways why would u want a jacket that celebrates someone elses achievements? if this had been rafa i wouldnt want it

[LetFirstServe]

I gotta say one thing about the jacket though (more importantly the white & gold theme) I was thinking of making a full blown thread about it but it might be a bit much. Although I think his bag was the gayest thing in the tourney (no offence to gays), his pants, polo and jacket looked better when he was holding the trophy...it just brought out the gold stripes.

You mean like the shoes Rafa wears at the French Open, with the years he won on them?
