I do think Federer would look great in it though.
But maybe too much Italian branding since he is already doing Barilla. Barilla is a huge brand in Italy.
Strange to endorse luxury products and then going for Uniqlo, uniqlo is like the H&M of Asia, like Berdych did.

Federer liked the pay day he got from Uniqlo

Exactly. Federer did not care about loyalty, fans, history, "RF" logo, brand who supported him from the get go...all about $$$
And why should he....

I read some posts suggesting that. Also they might part with Nadal and Sharapova?

Sharapova isn't selling anything for Nike anymore. The 3.5 leader of a local ladies league is a better poster for Nike. Nadal will still sell for sure

Federer loves his fans and his brand. he literally sacrifices himself for the fans everyday.

It's Nike that didn't appreciate Fed. Fed has done so much in his career-for Nike throughout his career- and if Nike couldn't honor what he, along with Rafa, did, then by all means- follow the money. Why did they not give him a life-long contract?
no...a good car.

Berdych and Lopez,,,,,,WOW. that is some hot signing. Anyway did you ask him why his fabric suck so bad thin and it gets torn apart after you wash it 2 times ??? and how did he come up with idea of Skull for the logo ? it looks like ganster and it is limiting his market.

Fabric is the best. Better then Nike and others. Same material as Nike’s in 2012/2011/2010.... poliéster + spandex12%

That's not what I heard. I heard they are weak and gets OLD fast after 2-3 washings. and why the Skull ??
Not my impression

Uniqlo aren’t making any tennis shoes.

I can't really complain about the fabric since I get the t-shirts for 15€, sweatshirts for 35€ and pants for 25€!
I don't really think there's a particular reason for the skull... The brand was founded some time ago and it got famous only recently. I guess back then skulls and camo were big.

Very good question. At this stage, he is only wearing their casual shoes and marketing them on a lifestyle basis.
Would be interesting to see what a Uniqlo tennis shoe would look like.

Agree, a specialist sporting hard good would be a big departure for Uniqlo.

Why Feliciano, why? Your Ellesse outfits were so good, now you will have to wear clown's pants.

Design wise for sure, but the quality is very good, Italian made, Italian fabrics and so on.

"Italian made" is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.
Italian fabrics?
It is just polyester.
Haha sure, but...

Good question. Berdych no longer has a footwear deal in place with Adidas.

Both will probably retire soon, so probably decent, but not really much. Especially when one considers the Guido trash they'll have to wear.

Guido trash ?? does that mean they will be considered villains since they have skull on their cloth ???

Clearly...LOL.Federer clearly cares about his logo.
Fans, history, what has his contract to do with fans and history?
As for loyalty, why didn't Nike support him now, that he cannot bring them that much exposure?
The "brand that supported him from the beginning" r aped him in his first big contract with them.
What does his move to UNIQLO have to do with fans??? Well, half of this board is wearing overpriced crappy Nike stuff because of him, and playing with way too heavy racket because of him. So, yes, it does. The whole idea of the "PJ" is created "for fan$"
Why didn't Nike su
