It's very easy to tell who the older guys on this board are. "In my day, we had real men like Don Budge who showed off with their games, not their clothes. They had respect for the sport, dagnabit. They relied on talent back then, not brute force. And only whites were allowed to play. And it was good."
Nah, I see what you're saying. The only player whose clothes bother me is Nadal. His hair, his capris, butt picking, sock picking, everything about him bothers me. He dresses like that, but he doesn't have the rebel "image is everything" personality to back it up. Instead he's very mellow and polite. It's peculiar. |

All I have to say is that I'm glad I wasn't alive 100 years ago, as I'd probably have been celibate.

Breakpoint, along with your racquets you're still stuck in the 70's with your clothing choices too aren't you.

I hate Nike, they're all about making their players look like buffoons- poor Federer included. A shame that players are willing to become damn billboards- with-rackets for those N-crooks.

Many of you are creating False Dichotomies. It's not between only "this extreme" or "that extreme" and you must choose. There are plenty of Middle choices.
I don't like Nadal's pajama pants or the "gangsta gear." I didn't like -- and still don't -- Pete's extra baggy, extra long shorts. ______________ Quote:

I'm with you though, the older I get the worse some of the clothes look. I like to think I'm somewhat hip for being 36 but some of those giddyups for tennis are too much for me. |

What's wrong with Monfils outfit. There's no specific way to dress for tennis. It's 2006 not 1970's

Hey, basketball players used to wear "nuthuggers" too until Jordan came along.
Anyways, it's not just the baggy shorts. It's *everything* combined: the colors, the baggy clothes, the rude fans. I started playing tennis back in high school cause all the jock meatheads played football or basketball. I'd rather not have the sport lose its roots. I understand that clothing silouhettes change from time to time but tennis players should maintain some style that makes them look like tennis players not basketball players. Every sport should have it's own unique way of dress to distinguish it from other sports. Even those shoes look like basketball shoes. |

I also don't think you would ever catch Federer wearing huge bright red shorts and a bright red muscle shirt in a match, and I'd say Federer is the definition of class. Besides, the bright red clothes clashes with green courts and/or green perimeter of courts.Perhaps another reason why tennis was more popular in the '70's than it is today - the fashions were better.
