He's wearing Uniqlo, just like during AO 2017.
That is a reverse engineered Nike that only appears to be Uniqlo. Just ask some people around here.

That is correct. The colours are very good, but the details of the retail shorts are underwhelming. I bought the white crew and socks and will be looking to acquire the Federer original model at some point. Also bought multiple of the Nishi's socks and wristbands, as I found them to match very well with Fed's RG outfit from last year, adding even more retro vibe to it. All in all, could have been better, but nothing to complain about.
So, still looking to 'acquire the [reverse engineered] Federer original model', or making do with the retail stuff?

I think he's got almost no wear sponsorship because of coke suspension. No company likes to put your brand on a guy that sniffed coke, no matter if he did for fun.

Can't imagine anyone wearing Uniqlo logos for free...

Gasquet was cleared from coke suspension, bro. Believe or not.

Those uniqlo dry ex shirts Dan wears are amazing same shirts fed wears for training just sans the logo.

...under a narrative that was laughable - akin to, “My dog ate my homework.”

Exactly. Evans should be credited for honesty not rewarded for lying like ^^^

The small levels of coke he tested at were perfectly consistent with his story, so the evidence said the dog did indeed eat his homework.

Uniqlo has a new Tennis Hands collection on the way to compliment the Nishikori and Federer lines.
It will be slightly more premium than Kei and Roger's gear and aimed at a more mature audience.

He was wearing a Japanese brand (Yoxoi) just last year after returning from his suspension. He and Bublik were signed simultaneously. I haven’t seen Bublik in action in 2020 so I don’t know if Yoxoi pulled the plug on both or not. Without good market penetration it’s hard to afford any endorsement deals and they certainly have not set the apparel segment on fire.

The kissing story, followed by a positive urine test (even in a small amount) is a highly improbable scenario, although I suppose not entirely impossible. Gasquet is one of a few professional athletes who have offered similar stories, under similar circumstances.
The evidence in Richard's case ended up being contradictory, which I imagine played a significant role in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision to reinstate him:
- The urine sample taken in Miami tested positive for cocaine metabolites and a small amount of unmetabolized cocaine
- The "B" sample also tested positive for cocaine metabolites
- A subsequent hair test was negative
All of that said, for me, the idea that a professional athlete out all night, drinking alcohol at a night club, making out with some acquaintance, bears absolutely no responsibility for the contamination of his own system...is a tough one.
Сan you name a model please?

Yes, it was strange story, almost magical, that he got coke from kissing the girl at night club. And officials beleive it.
I think Bublik used at least some parts of Yoxoi early this year.

Gulbis was wearing no-name apparel at AO...even had to shop on his own for his preferred Adidas shoes.

Mix and match is definitely allowed as long as any logo displayed is within the size parameters set by the ITF.
A lot of talk went along with Sandgren’s unexpected run but his kit was 100% Letour, a small Aussie brand on the rise. If they are smart they will use their unexpected exposure to gain market share.

It won't happen with someone like Sandgren, who is really the wrong person to wear anyone's brand.

Do we really have to revisit his checkered past off the court? The story is so old. I don’t condone his opinions expressed years ago and don’t want to revisit all the angst created by stuff he said back in 2014-16. Let’s #MoveOn.It won't happen with someone like Sandgren, who is really the wrong person to wear anyone's brand.
In this picture the length of overgrip is ridiculously short. Or just seems from this angle.
Man name Tennys plays great though looks like a hillbilly.It won't happen with someone like Sandgren, who is really the wrong person to wear anyone's brand.
He's a rich guy, not a big deal for him.

It is not when he expressed his views that is the problem, but the views themselves. He hasn't changed and I don't think that I would support someone like him or the things he endorses (as merch or otherwise). His tennys is not even interesting.

Wealth isn’t the issue there...it’s about the time he would waste hunting down a pair or two of his preferred shoes after an unexpected run to 3R from AO qualies.

How do you know he hasn’t changed? Have you had a chat with him? Please enlighten us if you have! If you haven’t that evidence, STFU!It is not when he expressed his views that is the problem, but the views themselves.

Tom, that is so uncharacteristic of you. No, I haven't spoken to him, but as someone who is stubborn in his own right I know how difficult people change. Unfortunately I am a believer in the redemption that takes a lot longer than the time it took to ruin one's reputation, so, he has to prove that he has changed. I don't mind the player, but I wouldn't support his endorsements and that is what I said when I said that he is a difficult sell, if I have to be convinced to support him. I am sure that plenty of people think that he is A OK. I don't mind that and certainly hope that you are right.

I certainly wouldn’t want to be judged for the rest of my life on my behavior in my mid-20s. People evolve at their own rates and he’s gone through rites of passage with sudden fame I cannot even imagine. Twitter didn’t happen until I was nearly 60!
Let’s let it rest. If he dives into the gutter again, so be it; if not, there’s a lot of celebrities out there that have done far worse than express some twisted views from their very young days.
As to the brand he wears, they’ve got a few designs that are appealing and their prices aren’t gouged by the cost of supporting the popular gang at the top. If it was available in the US, I might give them a shot for some shirts with sleeves or some socks, not to endorse Sandgren but to try something reasonably priced.

The grey one is called MEN DRY-EX Crew Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt (Gradation), but it's from last year.

Thankfully, it's very much free of wowserism and sanctimonious judgment.
Ok, thank you.
Sponsor's contracts are about money. So wealth is playing it's role. I think he got a big amount of spare adidas shoes.
Bublik is still wearing Yoxoi. Something else must of happened with Dan...maybe he wanted more money.

Any word on who Dan Evans signed with? Or will he still be without a clothing brand in Dubai. His opening match is with Fognini I think. Hoping to see him wearing a better brand this time around.

Would love to see him go down the same route as Tennys Sandgren and endorse/work with a small brand like Letour (Australian) to help break them into the mainstream tennis market.
I don't think Dan Evans is going to do anything for a brand that is trying to break into the mainstream market. He doesn't even regularly post on social media.

Glad that there are such people (not involved in all this social media craziness). For getting a contract tennis player should get some good sports results not to post smth on social media.
