Kit of the Year Award

[King No1e]

Which sponsor produced the best player kit of 2019? There were some great ones and some disasters this year. I liked all of Zverev's Adidas gear this year, especially the AO and late-season kits, and Uniqlo created some memorable all-black outfits for Federer at USO and YEC, but this year my vote goes to Sergio Tacchini with this kit used by Robredo:

Classy but bold. Signature ST style.

 

[K-H]

When you say my vote goes to Robredo, I hope you're saying you're voting for the worst kit this year being Robredos...

 

[Standaa]

Nadal’s AO 19 by far

then his USO, night kit

from the Fed outfits, it’s also USO, day outfit

[Yugram]

One of these 3 for me.

 

[King No1e]

One of these 3 for me.

That purple Thiem outfit is epic.
I liked Zverev's even more for the red-orange accents

All of Zverev's outfits were phenomenal this year:

 

[King No1e]

 

[Enceladus]

Nole's kit at AO 2019 was the best!

 

[ForehandCross]

Uniqlo is pathetic.

Lacoste recycles a lot.

Nike is lol since 2013.

Addidas it is then.

 

[King No1e]

Nole's kit at AO 2019 was the best!

A memorable kit, that's for sure! I really liked the red version too, wish they could've switched the order and given Djokovic the red for AO and blue for clay.

Why? The colors of the kits was in harmony with the surfaces, on which Nole played.

Yeah I liked this one.
Unpopular opinion but I liked Feds FO outfit as well.

I prefer contrast to blending in, although both can look great on court:

Here's my favorite example

 

[Jonesy]

I don't even know what year this outfit is but it clearly beats all the hairy legs posted above. Just end the thread now.

 

[Tennease]

All of them are so lame compared to @IA-SteveB kit:

 

[BeatlesFan]

Here's my favorite example

Thank you for breaking up the boring and predictable (unvarying) pattern of Novak fans voting for Novak kits, Nadal fans voting for Rafa kits, etc, etc. Best 2019 kit for me?

 

[Breakpointerer]

Gotta agree about Rafa's USO kit, he looked awesome and epic in it. I also really liked Thiem's purple outfit during the clay season.

 

[TheIntrovert]

 

[Breakpointerer]

Shame we only got to see this once

 

[helixx]

I liked the us open one and this the most on Nadal

 

[helixx]

Thiem's fit from IW was also very good

 

[dropshotlikeitshot]

 

[Third Serve]

 

[MeatTornado]

Shout-out to the first time in like a decade that we had a legit 'Darth Fed' kit. Usually there's some sort of color snuck in there somewhere. UniQlo actually gave him full monochrome black.

Novak at the AO sill gets my vote though.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Lol nothing, and I mean NOTHING....... beats hairy legs

 

[Yugram]

I liked the us open one and this the most on Nadal

The casual look of this kit is makes it very good somehow.

No. Just, no.

It is an absolute shame that Nike wasn't able to provide him with a decent colour way for that outfit.

Both Fed's Cincy outfits are strong contenders:

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Nole's kit at AO 2019 was the best!

Really like the t-shirt.

 

[Bender]

Imagine how much more unlikable this guy would be if even his kits were ugly

 

[King No1e]

No. Just, no.

It's a throwback to the old ST designs, I quite liked it

 

[Tennis_Hands]

I don't think that it is, or if they tried that they failed miserably. The ST name is not enough to make them "classy" or "similar". Other than that one can like anything, of course, but that colour blocking on the shorts and the lower part of the polo is absolutely atrocious, IMO. It is difficult to best some of the old designs like the iconic Borg Fila designs, the Mizuno designs for Lendl , the Adidas for Lendl and Edberg, Graf's Adidas, Kuerten's Diadora, or Seles's and Mac's ST etc. They are just too good.

The outfit above reminds me most of the things they made for Djokovic and before that for Sabatini, but really pretty vaguely. In itself the outfit is just bad, IMO.

 

[MUFCbmwBear]

Adidas wins for Consistency, AO best
Djokovic Solid all year, AO was best
Fed Cincy best, US Open White, WTF and I actually like the FO kit
Nadal US Open Night
Top picks overall are:
Cam Norrie for Ellesse

Struff’s Diadora top. Nice retro
Vibe

And Berrettini WTF kit
