Are you high?STOP THE NONSENSE!!!
Does anyone here really think he'll sign with them?! I'm willing to bet my life savings that he will not. Hell, I'll even throw in a kidney. Not sure what I'd do with an extra kidney though.
I don't remember creating this thread. But I fully stand by it.Are you high?

With most players I couldn't care less, but I've been wearing and collecting Federer Nike gear for over a decade now and I've really enjoyed it. It has a calming influence on me.why does you all cares so much about what brand the player wear
I guess that answers my question.I don't remember creating this thread. But I fully stand by it.
No, if you threw in a kidney, youd have one less, not one more... this math i can doSTOP THE NONSENSE!!!

The Zen of Fed. The Force is strong with this one. And you know what, I totally agree. Same with the original Borg Fila line. Some looks are just meant to be. Fed in anything but Nike would be like Jordan wearing a White Sox baseball uniform or, even worse, the Washington Wizards.With most players I couldn't care less, but I've been wearing and collecting Federer Nike gear for over a decade now and I've really enjoyed it.

You think Federer is worth that much ? Nike are NOT stupid. They have run through the numbers a lot of times, and know marketing, like NOONE else.While Nike’s deal with Ronaldo, who earned $88 million in 2016, may seem inflated, data show that Nike may be positioned to gain big time, fast. The Beaverton, Ore.-based sportswear leader indicated that it chose the Real Madrid star due to his social media presence. Ronaldo reaches a growing 262 million fans across various platforms, standing as the most followed person in Facebook Inc. (FB

) history. A recent Hookit report indicates Ronaldo’s social media presence generated $474 million in value for Nike just last year. If the fruits of this partnership continue with equal or greater momentum, it would take Nike only about two years to regain its investment.
The Nike-Ronaldo deal highlights the growing importance of mega-influencers across industries, particularly in the consumer goods space. For athletic apparel companies, the sales upside from social media influencers may be even greater, as brand reputation is strongly associated with symbols on clothing and shoes. (

It's called the cult of personality.With most players I couldn't care less, but I've been wearing and collecting Federer Nike gear for over a decade now and I've really enjoyed it. It has a calming influence on me.
How many youngsters play tennis, and how many play football, and basketball ?There’s quite a difference between Ronaldo and Federer in terms of how marketable they are though. Ronaldo is mainly for his shoes. How many shoes do amateur players buy? 1 pair per year? Maybe not even?
What do tennis players buy? Youngsters who train a lot buy new pairs of vapors every other month or more. They buy the newest kits for every slam and even Indian Wells or WTF outfits. I’m not saying Federer is as popular as Ronaldo, but tennis is just totally different I think.
You might need to get a new calculator.It's called the cult of personality.
That being said.....there are not many of you around, for Nike to cough up Lebron or Ronaldo type money.....to Federer.
I’m not saying tennis is as big as football. Basketball I have no idea, I’m from Europe. But what I see is that most kids get the newest stuff from their parents.How many youngsters play tennis, and how many play football, and basketball ?
Tennis is an expensive sport. What I see at my club, is that parents buy generally what's on sale. Sure a kid might have a Federer top, here and there, but in no way do you see them everywhere ........Usually a casual t shirt, here and there. No sportswear.
As for footwear.......whatver is on sale, is what you see..
I'm from Europe too. You seeing tennis is bigger than football and basketball in Europe ?I’m not saying tennis is as big as football. Basketball I have no idea, I’m from Europe. But what I see is that most kids get the newest stuff from their parents.
My whole point is just that the market is a bit different, so it would make sense for a company like Nike to keep Roger on board forever.
Yes, yes.....we have seen those figures, but this year is not a given for next year, in tennis.You might need to get a new calculator.
Federer 2018 endorsement earnings: $65M (#1 sponsorships earnings in all of sports 2018)
Lebron 2018 endorsement earnings: $52M
Ronaldo 2018 endorsement earnings: $47M
Messi 2018 endorsement earnings: $27M

Dude you can’t readI'm from Europe too. You seeing tennis is bigger than football and basketball in Europe ?
No way.
You saying more kids play/follow tennis than football(soccer) or basketball. No way.
Tell me tha last time you have heard a 10 y.o child say "I need to get home to watch the French/Wimbledon/US/Austyralian open final". But when Real Madrid, Barcelona, World Cup, Champions League, heck even the Basketball Playoffs are on......not a kid in sight. All home watching them.
Nike DOES want to sign him for life - just at a reasonable rate based on market realities as @joekapa is pointing out. Fed, and I’m a big fan, and his team (apparently) are just expecting way too much. Fed is almost retired, doesn’t play very often, has publicly stated he may just drive the kids to school and for ice cream when he does retire- not the kind of guy a business is going to pay a huge amount to.My whole point is just that the market is a bit different, so it would make sense for a company like Nike to keep Roger on board forever.
OK. Whatever you say.Dude you can’t read
I said earlier that Federer would not get HALF of what Ronald, Lebron, or Messi are getting. Strike that. He will not even get a third of that.....over a lifetime.Nike DOES want to sign him for life - just at a reasonable rate based on market realities as @joekapa is pointing out.

To the poster above that thinks Nike will drop prices if they do cut ties w Fed - good luck with that.
We don't know this at all though, only what random posters here have said. If I've said it 50 times on this board it wont have been enough: these deals never get done with public knowledge and by the time we find out about them they have probably been in discussion for six months, if not more.Nike DOES want to sign him for life - just at a reasonable rate based on market realities as @joekapa is pointing out.

I think this should be clarified to: not the kind of guys a sportswear business...Fed is almost retired, doesn’t play very often, has publicly stated he may just drive the kids to school and for ice cream when he does retire- not the kind of guy a business is going to pay a huge amount to.
Agreed. Yes UNIQLO is the type of company that will pay big bucks to Federer. He should take the deal.We don't know this at all though, only what random posters here have said.

For all we know he's signing/signed a global deal to be the face of UNIQLO for their brand but he'll continue to wear Nike for tennis. It's not so absurd.. Nadal got a deal with an underwear company and other players have also had deals with Hugo Boss and other fashion brands etc over the years. We wont know till we know.
I think this should be clarified to: not the kind of guys a sportswear business...
For a deal with a company like UNIQLO to be their global face it wouldn't matter one bit if he was retired. In fact some athletes' aura/legend grows when they retire: Jordan, Maradonna...
