Very similar color scheme to Wawrinka's outfit from Monte Carlo while back.

guess i am old school, i wouldnt wear "pink", i did use the cranberry and black blx blade 98s for a while because
i was given one one black and gold, so i picked up 2 more for $59ea.
i gave them to my niece and her boyfriend, they are just learning tennis and love them, even though the strings
are 6 yrs old

I wear pink to the office, or to a party maybe. Wore a pink polo to hit golf balls once. But never while playing a sport like soccer or tennis. Not sure why. Prolly just cisgender patriarchy gender role hangups, man, from the previous generation of male establishment oppression.
Pink does look good with a tan, as does the turquoise/royal blue/yellow outfit on Stan, above.

Agreed: pink looks great with a healthy tan. That's why I think it's a great summer vacation look.

I'm not so sure. I think the yellow is pretty good for clay, reminds me a little of his 2012 stuff. Not a bad attempt in my opinion.

Lol! Oh, a lot of thought went into this!
"Yeah so his rakkit is yello, and his watchband is orange.
We need a gold color to split the diff. Riiiight?
Match the swoosh to the gray shoe color.
Done and done.

hey at least it's better than last year's trash design. Purple/orange was cool, but everything else was white and black for no reason. Looked like a club player last year, but this year's kit is champion worthy.

If it's good enough for the Queen, it's good enough for Kei. My wife actually likes his brown shorts.You think Rafa is wearing McDonalds...what about Nishikori?

Haha, good enough for the queen... i can only think of a certain sex pistols song. And one by the smiths. And one by the stone roses. You Brits have quite a complex relationship wth the, ajem, "Roils."
The McDonalds uniform looks excellent with the nissin noodles patch. Corporate synergy.
Quick tangent...
One of my friends in college, this cat from Japan, hipped us to a lot of awesome east Asian food. Strangely, he also really liked low-end American fastfood. He would request McDonald's on road trips. I can still hear him pronouncing it.... "afta tha match, Coacha....Makadonarrdos, Parreez?"

Yeah, I love Uniqlo but have no idea what they were thinking with this disaster. Really wish I liked it. Hoping the alternate colors are less horrible.....You think Rafa is wearing McDonalds...what about Nishikori?

hmm, i feel like they just got yelled at for producing classy color combinations like blue and red, gray and white, black and gray, etc.
So, they overreacted.
Speaking of which.... put those colors on a baseball team from the early eighties in San Diego, and it's a pretty cool Southwest look.
Put it on a guy who looks like cesc fabregas, forehando verdasco, or rafael nadal....and it looks Spanish.
On QE2 or NishiSan, it looks like Makadonarrados.

Well, I was born in England, but according to my documentation I've been a US citizen since the day I was born, and I don't remember living there.
In Australia McDonald's is called Maccas, even by McDonald's in their advertisements.

Yep, Air Force brat. I have a British birth certificate and a certificate of US citizenship dated the same day. But I did have to go to some government office when I was 6, say the pledge of allegiance in front of a picture of President Kennedy and a US flag, and promise that I would register for the draft when I turned 18, which I did. The military hospital I was born in was razed shortly thereafter, and is now a meadow.

I'm with you here. Can't stand those brown shirts. Hard to understand this when they did such a great job with Nole's outfit.

I quite like Uniqlo as well, I think the design is in-keeping with their simplicity, but the colors there are not suiting imo.

G.O.A.T.
Yeah exactly. it's almose like Uniqlo is trying to be all Unique Clothing or something.
Serious steps down of late. Even just three years ago, designs were so much stronger.
In general....
Whatever happened to the yonex diagonal plaid shorts? Stan won Roland Garros in those. They came in pink, black and navy. So cool with a white or a gray shirt.
Edit:
Just a bit of follow up here...
I immediately got the black and the navy yonex Wawrinka plaid shorts. Did not get the pink. The pink is selling on **** for exorbitant prices, lol!
Ok, so we have quite a clash of the outfits today, in MC.
Clay NishiSan diMacca vs El Toro de Mango.

Should work as long as you code tag it properly. What is your target URL?

I don't get why white shorts though. There is no white anywhere else. Black would have made it better IMO, but I'm no artist, just a fan who buys top players gear like a suckerVery similar color scheme to Wawrinka's outfit from Monte Carlo while back.

White tends to highlight the other colors its paired with. Makes it pop.

It’s the social warriors within Nike and the majority of fashion designers + Disney Star Wars with their agenda of leveling the genders...The Henley shirts Federer wears for the past few years are hideous and their design is on the same level. What happened to those cool as f*ck outfits with polos instead of Henleys and with a great design too? I guess Fed's outfits indeed peaked during the same period as his hair and his game did.
I mean just compare this:

Like a lot:
Classic good looks. Australian used to be a big time player in tennis apparel. What happened to them?

White shorts show easily dark underwear.
Especially if they are wet.
Anyway, translucent is not always sign of "cheap". It depends on its purpose, and if the purpose is ventilation, it is fully justified, as long as it doesn't get disturbing.
I will preface my post by saying i`m from the white cream era, wore perry and simpson pleated shorts with white collared perry shirts. I think that a white shirt with colored shorts or solid collared shirts with white shorts is a great look. I see too many players in my section wearing ugly tee shirts with non descript shorts. Mostly they look like slobs on the court

White on white looks sharp, always, especially on clay or grass.
I like white shorts and a different colored polo or crewneck shirt. Color is interesting. Nothing too crazy.
I know this is an internet forum, and being negative is de rigeur. But...
Things are looking better at RG this year, at least for men's apparel.
Thiem has a cool navy with pink shirt, paired with white shorts. Perfect.
Sascha...with the pink shirt and cream shorts.... a little much, but still ok looking. I actually like the two logos, just for RG.
Djoker's shirt looks awesome. But red shorts? Why not just white shorts with a little black, blue, or red detail? Is this too boring these days?
DelPotro's nike shirt, and all the fila and lacoste shirts look good to me.
The new Lotto line looks like they're trying to lean Disneyish and feminine.
Gasquet's le coq sportif looks really clean.
