I have posted in the shoes and apparel section about picking up some wristbands that Nadal wore at the U.S. Open in 2007. Let me show you the pic:
However, when looking at the package, underneath an attached barcode and price from Nike, is the following information:
There is no price listed, no bar code number (just a bunch of zeros), and a date instead of the price. And yes, they spelled his name wrong!
Roger did not wear this colorway at the US Open that year. Why are the wristbands labeled as his? Did Nike make a batch for Roger and then change their mind on the colorway for his outfits?
I just found this very interesting and odd. Can anyone, maybe anyone with Nike connections, shed some light on this oddity? And really, who the heck spelled his name wrong? I am also trying to find if these wristbands were sold anywhere back in 2007. I started following tennis with passion, especially clothes-wise, in 2008. Do I have something special here?
Cheers!
And by the way, the wristbands are very comfortable.
