Nike's pink outfits at the 2018 Australian Open

I have a Polo pink golf shirt that looks very nice. Especially with black pants. If I wore it with pink pants it would be just stupid. However it is a soft pastel tone, not the electric neon that Nike is using.

From several years ago a major high end cycling brand did this:

Before that they did this:

Anyway, pink adidas 2 in 1 barricade shorts from two years ago (I remember Pouille wearing them) for some reason didn't look as ugly as this year's nike's.
Several last years Nike clothes designers won the most uglies outfit's trophies permanently.

It's something colour that Lacoste make i think. That's good.

To be fair, virtually nothing - with, as someone has already pointed out, the possible the exception of Radek's peekaboo shirt - has ever looked as ugly as some of these Nike outfits.
 
Dimitrov is surely the worst of all:

I bought Grigor's shirt and Fed's shoes. I will finish it up with black shorts and socks. If it's hot, black headband/wristband (I sweat a LOT).

My general rule: Only wear two pieces of the same color (out of 4: shirt, shorts, socks, shoes).

If someone is immature enough to comment on the colors I'm wearing... Good for them.

I didn’t think the Obsession with pink at Nike could get any worse...
Then I saw these at the AO!

Whatever they are smoking down at Nike must be some seriously potent you know what.
Outrageous, Egregious, Preposterous!!!!

Yep, well chosen; if I had to pick, that's what I would go with too - but I'm going to hold out until the FO and probably beyond...

Dimitrov- too much pink
Delpo- very nice pink touches
Fed- classy with hints of pink
Nadal- just happy to see the sleeveless

Bouchard's Nike bottoms almost look like old style french knickers. To me, the Adidas stuff is the best this year, especially Pliskova and Thiem. It's ok for girls to have mostly one color, but for guys, no way!

I feel bad for the women wearing the Nike kits. Those outfits remind me of middle school pe uniforms. One size that doesn't fit anyone.

Great on-court interview at the end of the Berdych match, Courier asked Federer about the Nike outfits, and he said "If a lot of the guys are out there playing in pink, it's maybe because I had something to do with it!"

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.
