I so surprised to see so many pink colors in men draw, looks like big Sponsors try to make some statement??

I like the colors but some of the styles are a little rough. Nike shorts look sharp but the tops are horrible. IMO

Nike sweat shops instead buy Adidas better design

I haven't seen anyone wearing this yet, but I'm digging it:

Maybe Zverev? Or Theim?
This is nice as well:

Adidas is really tasteful this AO, their color combos are great and great variety between these two and the one I posted shirt. I think Zverev might have the top light blue one and not sure who wearing the green but I'm loving the subtle pattern at the top. Great offerings, these are genuinely nice shirts I'd buy I think it looks good on wide range of people.

So far in the AO, those who wear PINK have tended to STINK. Many Nike players out the first day.

As i noticed, pink mostly goes by different Nike models. Like more Fila styles. Their main colour for AO is turquoise and styles are much better than Nike's.

Keep a lookout for Yonex kits, Yoshita Nishioka and Stan Wawrinka are looking very good. Asics doing nice things for their female players too as well as Adidas for both male and female.

Seems that A.Zverev wears it now. Notice huge visiable difference in height between him and his opponent Fabiano.

I thought the shorts were gonna be a different color but since it continued from his shirt like fading downwards into white, it makes him appear taller too, had the shorts been a darker blue it would have broken up the kit.

When is Nike gonna give the superstar Denis Shapovalov better kits, something along lines of Dimitrov worthy cause Dimi seems to always have the in-between of Roger and the rest of the Nike guys.

Zverev - 1.98m, Fabiano - 1.73m.
 
The Nike outfits need black shorts- too much pink. Some of the Adidas outfits look like they had a blue jean fade on them.
Is there anybody here that wouldn't have preferred black shorts with subtle pink - if it has to be pink - piping/highlights? Also, is there anyone here that will actually buy these pink shorts to wear to play tennis in, and not because they want to exude antisocial, stick-it-to-the-man 'low-rider' etc. vulgarity, or make a statement about how outré they are, but because they actually think their appearance will be enhanced?

The pink isn't translating well on Tv. The word salmon pink is quite accurate.

It is orangey pink. Not flamingo pink. Just saw Dimitrov with his all pink getup.. on the big stadium screens he looked like a flamingo. But on court it's more orangey.

Agree that they need black shirts. I thought NK looked sharp as opposed to Grigor who looked a bit ridiculous imho. Only major difference was pink on pink vs pink on black.

I did read an article about how Nike tested which colors showed up visually on tv, with that pink color showing up the best.

But I think there’s more to it than just what shows up on the screen, and that the guys look silly in that all pink.

How can you say that!?

Well if somebody working for these big tennis apparel companies has half a brain in their head, they will start paying attention to their decreasing sales and start listening to the consumer. They are shooting themselves in their own feet.

If you are listening Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Fila, ANYONE! Start making stuff that looks good on the athlete, is correctly sized, and well-made. PERIOD.

What you have been selling the last 3-5 years we aren’t buying.
