many roger shirts are cool too...
(dark fed's shirt is just black but the whole outfit look great, and i think he had it during his matches against lopez and roddick in 2007... where he played some amazing tennis !)

from an old thread:

It is an Adidas that Mecir wore during the Olympics.

It is more famous with Lendl wearing it, though, but I like this "cleaner" image, and I like Mecir too. :)

Lacoste shares the sentiment about that Le Coq shirt:

:cool:
Yeah I noticed that too. But I love that Lacoste shirt as well. I’m actually about to change into it to play this morning. But I like the le coq even better. Wait, that sound weird.....

How long before you notice the stencil on Vilas's raquet?

:)
Oh that is freaking awesome too! Totally missed it. BUT the croc could look poser — the coq is more insider/enthusiast.... I guess the days of apparel logos on racquets are gone. Can’t think of any currently unless it is a racquet manufacturer (Wilson, Yonex, etc).

Yeah, we are in a weak stencil era.

I think that the last time I saw something like that was when Lacoste did that limited edition raquet, and it had their logo on it.

:cool:

Actually that was a totally legit Le Coq Sportif tennis racquet. Did you notice its unique design? The stencil wasn't for the apparel (and shoes.) It was for the equipment.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Pretty cool. And I noticed the rooster looked different than the current logo but figured they must have tweaked it over the years, the say Disney did with Mickey Mouse..... I'm always tempted to get back into that brand. Had a t-shirt from them when I was a kid and felt cool AF when I played in it lol..... Eventually, they offered me something to stop wearing their logo on the court. In those days, $15.00 and a pack of Luckys seemed like a lot. Don't know how long my contract with them runs though, so I don't want to risk breaching it.....

At that time Le Coq Sportif belonged to Horst Dassler, the famous son of Adi Dassler, and thus it was a totally legit athletic company. Remember Maradona winning the World Cup sporting a huge LCS logo on his chest?
