BTW, what is Bjorn wearing there? I can't make out the logo.

I'd love to see Lendl playing in the new adidas argyle shirt. And Bjorn in some kind of Fila retro pinstripe....made of poly as cotton is obsolete for competitive tennis.

And while we are at it, Donnay should resign Bjorn and have him use one of those new racquets.

That's enough to make me cry.

Also, had you have bought a second set and stuck it in a closet, it'd return you a better-than-blue chip return on your 20 quid on **** after those 20 years

That's not vintage Sergio Tacchini. These are.

Two of the GOAT shirts in the same match.. 1989 US Open..

The 'spray paint' and the 'chalk duster'

OK.. I'll give it to you. The Sampras archer shirt is beyond awesome. I'd love to get my hands on one of them for my collection.

I know, in the early 90s i had a pair of green agassi shorts with bllue/purple lycra, and a matching shirt it was the white bottom with a top 3rd, diagonal colour block much shorter in the front than the back type of shirt.I had the green and red shirts, didnt wear them for years, forgot they were there, one day drove my dads van and the red one had become a seat cover!Now of course another 8 years on they sell for over £50 on the bay....hindsight would be a good thing in advance!
Oh i got this shirt and top set lendl has on here

in that picture bjorn is wearing his own brand 'bjorn borg.'

this picture was taken when they had the exhibition match on Nov 6, 2010.
where lendl defeated borg 6-4, 7-6

next year, he will take on John McEnroe

Lendl lost to Mac on the champs tour a month or two ago.

That said, great that he's in Borg-beating form, looks like he's lost even more weight, great to see....

his next match against mcenroe will be a doubles match.
http://tennis-in-depth.com/2010/11/1...eam-challenge/

Ivan Lendl will play with Ivan Ljubicic
and John McEnroe will play with James Blake

I think currently McEnroe is better than Lendl but Ljubicic is better than Blake, so it's going be an exciting doubles match

Fed's from Wimbledon 06, it was really basic looking crew with nice details and lots of tech. It had this advance Nike Sphere technology with flaps on the back that would open up and vent when you were hot (probably BS, but interesting none the less).

bezs · 11-28-2010, 05:54 PM

Thought they looked like gills the first time i saw it.

Wait a minute...are you saying that once upon a time man knew how to create a white tennis shirt that got neither yellow nor dingy?

I have this shirt, probably one of my favorite crews. The sphere react on the back really opens up when you sweat, but I don't think it does any better of a job than a good open mesh fabric would have done.
