Price for clothes, shoes, rackets, and VS Gut have gone insane

Agreed, but there is a big difference between the Nike kits and the Yonex/On price points now.

Nike is at $80-105 and $90 for the tops & shorts Sinner and Alcaraz are wearing, while Yonex are charging $140 for the shirt and $120 for the shorts....using a ripoff color scheme of Nike's RG22 kit
 
The Yonex clothing is fantastic quality. It often goes onto heavy markdown here.

A lot of stores here that sell Yonex badminton equipment and clothing will also stock Yonex tennis gear and they always end up in a surplus of the tennis gear that needs to be cleared. Badminton store customer base will generally get Yonex badminton specific clothing that doesn't have the same rich guy tax as the Yonex tennis clothes lol.

You really understand how much we get ripped off as tennis consumers when you see what gear costs in other racquet sports.
 
The Alcaraz kit looks good to me and will probably go down as one of his more memorable ones given the context. It's one of the few of his that I've really liked. The little hits of blue make it.

Me too! Sinner's one is just too much colored for middle-aged players like me but, Alcaraz's one is suitable for me I think.
Bought 3 tops and 2 bottoms!

Wait what

Sinner's kit had two normal colors, Alcaraz kit was way more extroverted IMO

It was the vivid green shirt with white collar that made Sinner's kit look a bit out there. If it had been a deeper green with a monochrome collar maybe it would've looked less like Luigi wearing an Ireland rugby shirt. Alcaraz's kit design was bolder but the colours worked a lot better together.

Alcaraz fit was ruined for me with the shoe/sock combo. And I think Sinner's would have looked less Luigi-ish if the hat had been a different color

Jannik should've worn a blue top with a green hat and green wristbands. Anyone able to photoshop it to look like Rafa's Miami 2012 kit?

I would've liked it better if the colors were the other way around.

Kinda like Rafa's Miami 2012 kit:

But in my area, which is in Asia, we can get Yonex apparel for much less, like US$40 for the top or even less. I am really surprised by their retail price in the States or Europe.

If you can pick up the RG stuff that they are still wearing in that beach mint/navy scheme I would be curious to see if it’s any good. That stuff looks really good

Indeed I was really tempted by their RG stuff last year, the deep green shirt with some brown/orange touch-ups. This year, not so much. For this year RG, the only apparel item I bought is the ON tank similar to the one worn by Big Ben. Instead of the look, I am really curious to their apparel line in general and that's why I pull the trigger.

Have you worn the tank yet? Curious how it goes for ya

Have not yet worn on court. But as there are official ON stores in my area, I did try in store and surprisingly it fits well. Not sure about performance though, will try it side by side with my Carlitos US Open 2024 black tank to see how it goes.

Must be lower range badminton apparels, plus how many of those have Very Cool technology for that price point.

I have finally worn the ON tank. It is not bad to be honest. Performance wise, I think the Carlitos US open 2024 tank is slightly better. I am a sweaty guy but the tank is not very heavy or "sticky" after absorbing my sweat. The Nike one is still generally more superior performance wise but really not by much margin. May buy another tank from ON if the color clicks.
