Challengers movie custom apparel

Hall of Fame
Just saw Challengers and won't comment on the movie LOL but was interesting to see apparel from Uniqlo. The Uniqlo shirts featured in the movie are the 2021 Federer Wimbledon Polo with the square pattern but they had custom ones with blue and green collars and matching highlights on bottom of sleeves.

Whoever was responsible for outfits clearly follows tennis as one of the main characters was playing in Uniqlo outfits and On Roger Pros. Basically Federer combo. This is annoying because those shirts will never see retail but honestly that was a great quality/design shirt. Last couple years of Uniqlo they finally started using light breathable materials and should be sold.

Also they did a great job in scenes set in different timeframes to actually use appropriate generation rackets (Wilson Ncode nTour 95/Babolat Pure Drive Roddick in flashbacks while using newer Wilson Blades and Radicals in current scenes. Also as time went on through flashbacks then there was a BLX Tour 95)
 
Sampras shorts apparently. I was not familiar with em as I started tennis in 2005.
Which is bizarre cause this is in the 2000s into the late 2010s (2017?) -- I don't remember when the Sampras shorts were featured in the movie's time jumps -- the Sampras checkered shorts were like 1996ish?? -- so he is either playing in 10-15yr old or 20-25yr old shorts? Even if the article mentions them being indestructible, seems like stretch :laughing:

This movie looks like total crap. Just saying.
