Looks ample to me. I think since their deal came into play relatively soon, they haven't gotten the sufficient time to make designs and are just starting off with usual, simple colors.
In the description it says that Roger helped come up with the color. It says that the blue reminds him of the color of the courts.That was my thinking last year but its been long enough to figure out a different design. I'm disappointed this is all they got to show.

I really don't understand Uniqlos strategy here. This stuff isn't so terrible, it's just blah and boring. Why spend so much on an elite player and then completely neglect the design?
If it's Roger, we need Anne Wintour to yell at him.Exactly. Why get this guy whose gonna be wearing your stuff appealing to other fans other than Nishikori and give him such plain outfits.
Only thing I can think of is that Roger actually has more input than we know. He may be calling the shots (and not doing very well)

The only explanation I can think of is that Uniqlo doesn't care about tennis sales, just want him as Brand Ambassador to launch a line of casual / dress clothing

They quietly released them. Impressive that they were released here instead of their Japan site first.
Does anyone have definitive sizing info? compared to Nike and Adidas these days
Not too exciting, but I like the color and the price tag. Will probably get the polo.
Hopman Cup!!Has he won anything of interest wearing UniQlo?
Just sayin'.
Uniqlo too plain and unimaginative .....
I got the Shanghai pink outfit in the UK and it was the same as regular UK size, i.e. Size Small was the same as a Nike small for me, although the cut was very slightly different (felt I had more rooms for my arms to move as the sleeves weren't as tight), my brother picked up the US open red one and that was sized the same as UK too.
Having lived in Asia and bought Uniqlo there, its usually +1 size to US/UK so a UK/US Small is an Asia M. This is explained in their size charts too
Where did you buy Federer's kit? I'm from France and don't know how to get it?
I hate Nike so was glad to see Federer change manufacturer.
It's a very obvious and transparent strategy imo.
The whole point of getting someone like Roger as a brand ambassador is so you can get away with selling clothes that look like this.
Uniqlo has let us down again in terms of providing an interesting kit, but it is business as usual, and I'm sure the fit and material quality is still very good. The one visual highlight of Uniqlo x Roger Federer thus far was his asian swing outfit which was brilliant.
The new color looks terrible.
You gotta love those prices....Nike the last few years has gone nuts with $100 shirts
IMO 80 for a t shirt and shorts is excessive. I just bought a bunch of Nike dri fit tennis and Adidas clima cool tennis stuff on clearance from a local golf and tennis shop for 13-17 bucks (shirts and shorts).
I know, but $80 for a shirt & shorts is much better than $100 shirt & $75 shorts though...I loved the neon yellow shirt and grey shorts that Fed had for the ‘15 Aussie Open, but that was the price...saw them at Indian Wells and the quality was sub-par at best...turned me off of Nike apparrel from that moment on.
Getting bent over with a little lube or no lube....in the end you're still getting screwed.
Perhaps he is using the google translate app to translate from hexadecimal to English.
Not the australian open shirt, but you can buy the Shanghai shirt on Uniqlo Uk for 15 pounds. I have just ordered my shirt.
First time i am going to wear pink and something from Roger Federer as i hate Nike.
It's amazing how many tennis players that 'don't want to look fashionable or flashy' coincidentally discovered Uniqlo's 'quality materials, tasteful colours and reasonable prices' at exactly the same time that Roger came on board. it's like Federer gave up a Porsche Carrera 'ambassadorship'/sponsorship for a Nissan Versa sponsorship, and suddenly everyone is prepared to drive around in Versas just to look like Rog, all the while extolling the cheap and cheerful/value for money virtues of their new budget transport. Pathetic.However, they will be suitable for a broad range of players, who don't want to look fashionable or flashy, and I thought that is what Uniqlo is about: functional clothing for moderate prices.
That apparel won't win any design awards, but it will appeal to a broad audience that looks for items made of quality materials, with tasteful chosen colours and reasonable prices.
