Del Potro looks ridiculous

Nike goes through cycles of great to good to not-so-good, but honestly, do you really think Del Potro has any real say in what he wears? The man's getting paid to wear that stuff. If Nike offered me a hefty amount of money to get out there and play my matches something akin to Serena's catsuit, ya know what...I'd do it.

Good thing none of those guys give a rats a** about what we think of their outfits. They would be really upset.

He'd look good if he wasnt so skinny...
But who cares... look how well he is playing... clothes arent going to help play better...

I think it looks ok, just not on him. For some reason his body type doesn't fit that outfit at all.

Yep. Its a very ugly outfit.
At least hes winning though. Its ok to look bad and win.
however to look bad and lose is... not good

Federer and Nadal's shoes and apparel are pretty nice, the rest I agree with you.

Nike is definitely trying to capitalize on the youth market but me thinks they're WAAAYYYY off the mark. They're attempting to inject Andre's flair into a generation of youth that simply isn't like that. The teenagers today are on a different level, not to mention that Andre was in a league of his own.
Bloomberg Markets cover story is on Nadal and how Nike is using him to attract the 17 and under segment, while Fed is marketed to the 25 and older. Putting Nadal in sleeves is the start of shifting him upmarket. I guess that DP/Monfils getup is targeted at the tweeners. Can't believe someone got paid to design that. There's gotta be a method to the madness???

I think Nike rightly changed Nadal away from the capris-pirate look at exactly the right time. Don't really like his new stuff, but it does look more mature.

Del Potro looks like George Michael when he was in Wham! "Wake me up before you go go ..."
I like sleeveless shirts, but I concur with most of you here. Nike's new line isn't just ugly ... it's FUGLY!
Ditto to the guy who said Nike hasn't put out a decent looking line in a while. I mean, I like some of the stuff they've put out over the past few years, but when it comes to the sleeveless designs ... yikes! You'd think they could muster a more attractive looking design especially given the prices they charge for their stuff.
No wonder Nadal opted for sleeves! One look at the new sleeveless design would leave anyone saying, "No mas!." :roll:

From a marketing point of view, many people don't just by stuff that their favourite players use, but stuff that look good on players.
Also I agree with some of you in that nike is marketing some products for more mature players (the fed line) but don't forget that roger won't be playing for many years, and they need a top player to target us who love a more classic/mature look, thus they'll be changing rafa's style year after year. It's not the teens who have deep pockets to buy all gear they throw to us.

he looks like some sort of exotic and highly toxic reef fish, wearing a c. thomas howell mask.
I think the best quote i heard was on Eurosport which described del potro as a 6ft 6 bumblebee
LOL, that is hilarious

Really don't know what's up with the designers at Nike, but DelPos outfit is much better than Rafas Crusty the Clown costume, man is that bad.

Totally agree, also IMO Rafa's outfit looks mis-matched, what with the nicely fitted polo and then the baggy shorts.

I love Del Potro shirt, and also I believe the colors where picked by him because those are the ones of his favorite soccer team!
