I went to buy an RF hat (I have been wearing them for over 15 years) and see that Uniqlo is not selling them anymore - Is there anywhere else that is selling new RF hats or any plans for another company to start selling them? Thanks
 
UK amazon somehow seems to have loads of cheap knockoff versions. If you want the authentic thing... Those days may be gone...

If Federer were American you would understand, it would make sense to give him that recognition and status.
Furthermore, tennis is not among the main sports in that country to give him such a contractual agreement.
 
AliExpress has a nice brown colour for $AU9.
They have black, white and brown. Will be $US10.
It's not copyright RF is Radio Frequency.
They got a bulls hat as well.
Get both, plus MAGA and save on postage.

The fans don’t know what Federer was looking for in terms of a deal with Nike. The fans always think that Federer was for recognition and status with some lifetime contact that sounds like a fan issue. I think fan values don’t line up with Federer’s values.

From what I’ve heard from people familiar with the situation, Nike put their 150 on the table, then Uniqlo put their 300 on the table and Roger took the latter without Nike having the turn to place another offer

Yeah, this doesn’t sound made up at all. Federer robbed fans on this forum of their recognition and status, so stories are being made up. There was no deal made by Nike, so Tony got him the deal with Uniqlo and the terms were never disclosed. The logo is owned by Federer, so fans are upset because he doesn’t use it and are looking for made up reasons. Federer still wears the RF cap for himself as seen in the video playing golf.

Wow buddy really got me dead to rights there. I notoriously make up fake stories to denigrate Federer, it’s a pastime of mine.

I never claimed the veracity of the story was 100%. As I disclosed, it’s simply what I’ve heard from people familiar with the situation through a decades long relationship with the same higher up Nike rep that worked with Federer in the past (still at Nike now). There is a lot of heard through the grapevine discussion in the tennis world. I’m not upset and making stories about the RF rights because I have a hat already and frankly couldn’t care less.

The grapevine story still sounds made up and veracity of not caring is too. This forum would make up anything for clicks or site traffic.

It doesn't sound made up. Corporations make offers all the time which are conditioned on the offer then not being shopped around or leveraged. The Los Angeles Dodgers made Yoshibobu Yamamoto a 325 million dollar offer on the condition that he would not then shop it to other teams.

In Federer’s case, it DOES sound made up because no one knows if this is true in HIS case. IF this was the case with him, Federer wouldn’t made that little video a while back where he surprised fans with new RF caps. The video featured Federer showing the caps in different colors, then his surprised face.

Fed wanted to get the lifetime deal with Nike, but the latter didn't agree.
Fed's contract with Nike expired in March 2018 and it wasn't renewed because Nike didn't agree to continue paying him after his retirement. Uniqlo agreed.

More fiction. There is no evidence that Federer was looking for anything from Nike other than a contract extension. Unfortunately for you, Federer is doing just fine. Nice clickbait article though.

Yeah I just really have a vested interest in pointlessly bull******* about my favorite player you’re right. Getting so many clicks it’s helping me find my existential self-worth, thanks for fueling it

Uniqlo hat with RF logo does not come with dri-fit and quality is not that good either :-D. Good enough to wear for less than one year.

The quality control is wild, too. I bought 5 hats total (all different colors), and could only keep one. The other four were too shallow and felt like I was wearing a child’s hat.
