. Day outfit and night outfit? Looks like another glorious winner. I can't believe that not only is your stuff unavailable, but also that instead of your elegant engaging designs - with nice subtle details like only the right sleeve trim coloured for a bit of surprise asymmetry etc. - we're having our eyeballs seared by that garish, ludicrous, tasteless, overbearingly ugly, pink AO clown ****e!! :(:mad:

Many Thanks I appreciate. That's life...
I like AO Nike colors but too much pink in my opinion.

Pink outfits look like: i)Flamingo standing in a tree shadow; ii)Captain Kirk's Mardi Gras outfit. (To be fair, Grigor's pinky/orange shirt is bearable, in a Liquorice Allsort kinda way...)

Yes!! Absolutely love these two!! Would buy them - especially the grey - in a heartbeat, and I'm really more of a 'Fed' guy when it comes to clothing, mainly due to being in my 50's lol. (Probably would go with a black with highlights bandana especially with the blue/green outfit just so it doesn't look too divided between bright top and dark bottom, but that would depend to some extent on the shoes/socks combo anyway.) It's hard to believe someone at Nike hasn't picked this stuff up!?

This is one close competitor to the RF USO 2011 day outfit in terms of how classy you can look on court with some red. Great design!! Even those yellow shorts and white shirt make me like yellow. Hopefully we can see some inspiration or your designs in coming years

Hey, Thanks a lot ;)
Difficult to find new colors or colors combo these days. Every possibilities were done before, but sometimes, a good combination appears ;)

Hi Dude, For me, the important thing is to achieve a color balance between the shirt, the short, the shoes, and accessories (Head band, Wristband and socks).

If you look at the actual outfit of Rafa (Monte-Carlo Clay), something is wrong, no ?
The shirt, purple and orange is ok (same colors as the FO 1991 ;) ), Eventually Orange shoes (could have been better), but why White short, and black socks head and wristband ?!!
Bad choice really, really...o_O

Imagine you keep the shirt and the short, It could be better if the Head and wristband were Purple with orange swoosh, the socks orange with white swoosh, and just changing color of the swoosh on short (it works with purple and orange).
Black color is not essential in this case.
I don't understanding NIKE this time...

I think they should have made the shorts on both the clay and RG black, so that would make black pretty much a main color, instead of looking like both white and black are there for no reason.

I wanna see this for sale...Reminds me of my childhood when Agassi was wearing challenge court! Awesome
 
Have you got any other designs other than moving lines around and changing the colour scheme? E.g. Federer 2017 style, something from outside the box

Hi,

Everything is possible of course, at the beggining, my approach and "only project" was to propose one design (per year) with multiple color combo, like Nike did with Rafa since last three years, that's all. But I can do it everything ;)

You have talent anyway. The Nike designs have been a bit bland in regards to patterns or style. There are few standouts like Fed AO 2017, Nadal AO 2009. I would defintely like to see some of yours on Rafa

This Starbucks kit wouldn't be appropriate for a night session. The night version should be: Cream ---> Black. Capuccino/Black ---> Hyper Orange. Mocha ---> Smoke Shadow

Damn!
Please see a shrink. They do wonderful things nowadays.
A little electroshock therapy and Lithium? You could actually return to complete sanity.
 
Yep, Nadal's U.S. Open shorts; more heavy handed butchery - giant, ugly 'tie dyed' swathes down each side that, perhaps thankfully, aren't even replicated on the shirts, leaving the outfit unbalanced as a whole. If only they'd hire Gregory. :)

Pics? Are you talking about a newly released 2018 product?

The color on the shorts may match the shoes. That would create balance
