Pink stinks!

[TahoeTennis]

I think it was 7 or 8 years ago, everyone wore yellow in Australia and it was great. Everyone looked sharp, summery and happy.

But this year's pink is a crime against humanity. Even 80s neon wants their greens and oranges shown.

 

[Nostradamus]

then why does it look so cute on Federer ?

 

[stringertom]

Schnike designers found an unopened crate of pink underliners from the 90's, had a party and got high huffing on the fumes.

 

[NoleFam]

I have no idea what is up with Nike and its sudden obsession with pink. Their outfits look like crap now when they used to look the best.

 

[Chadillac]

A pretty hollywood actress said she likes this years outfits, i said #metoo

 

[Fedalfan]

Really? I think the pink is really cool - Fed, Rafa, Dimi, Kygrios...all of them are rocking it!

 

[Berasategui94]

Pink is a girly color, it doesn't suit men, on Giorgi it looked ok.

 

[Shaolin]

Its great in moderation, like Fed's outfit, but head to toe bright pink is just gross.

 

[Red Rick]

In todays news

Colours have smells

Agree though, Nike's kits are the worst nowadays. But almost all Aussie Open kits suck, though I do like Djoker's kit.

I like pink and I am a man, I have a number of pink shirts! In fact up until WW1 it was pink for a boy and blue for a girl

Dont insult pinkitrov

 

[Bluefan75]

Yeah not a fan of pink all the way through. Frankly not a pink fan period, but can live with some trim. Shapovalov's kit was brutal. Bouchard's wasn't bad, although I think a skirt would have been better than shorts.

I'm all for pink stuff in the month of October in the NFL bcoz they're raising money for breast cancer research and we need to do it all to save the tatas.

I don't think Schnike is doing the ACS donation thing though and they've got way too much pink in a lot of the outfits. As usual, SexiRogi's looks the best with just a bit of pink.

 

[chjtennis]

Seriously, Nike puts hefty price tag on their products and this is the best they can come up with the design? Ridiculous and I call a boycott by the tennis fans on Nike products. This is an utter disrespect against their loyal customers.

The kits in this AO are really awful, and I am being generous. Fed's kit is one of the worst I have seen him wore in his entire career. Absolutely disgusting. And the sleeveless shirt for Nadal is also horrible.
The only outfit I think is great are those in salmon/peach for the girls. Svitolina looks great, and well I did not think I would say this, but Maria looks spectacular in her outfit.

It would be even better skirtless

 

[chjtennis]

I could tolerate this. Also, some of the pink shirts on Federer in the past were quite nice, but the Nike line of AO18 is downright ridiculous.

there's instagram for that though, Nike doesn't have to put any thought into it.

Why does club players think you are You know what if you walk on the court with all PINK outfit ????

Delpo is the only one among the men's clients of Nike to have got away without wearing pink. I'm guessing how he escaped the wrath of Nike's designers.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Back in "the days", if a guy wore pink he get beaten up, made fun of by both sexes. Theses days are pretty much gone! Guys dress like ladies and vise verse now! Sometime I can not tell if it a guy or a gal, they dress sort of gender neutral! LOL!

Players at the top are pay handsomely to wear whatever! If I were pay that much, I just smile and go put it on and go on with business! It not their personal choice. They get pay to do it! Sort of fun, I think for most of the players I think! Sort of like Halloween time!

 

[Capulin Zurdo]

Have a pair of these, they look really nice, I liked Federer's A.O. '13 kit as well.

 

[Mainad]

How arrogant of him to look cute in pink!

Then again, Fed can look cute in practically anything!!

 

[WhiskeyEE]

Federer's shirt looks decent. The pink is almost like a salmon and looks good with black.

Pink only really looks bad when it has a purple tone and/or is very vibrant.

A low saturation mix of red/white isn't girly IMO.

 

[helterskelter]

Pink is usually the third color for men's dress shirts (after white and blue), so I wouldn't say it's rare for men to wear it at all.

 

[Musterrific]

What a useless thread. God forbid we have some bold and colourful outfits in tennis for a change. Maybe the people whining here should stick to only watching Wimbledon.

Yeah, in low saturation pink is ok, Giorgi's outfit was like that and it looked pretty good. But I still say pink is in essence a feminine color and would never wear anything pink myself. And As to Nadal's kit, it indeed sucks, the baby blue kit he had last year, I think, on the other hand looked great. He should also shave his head to look more badass, haha.

 

[TahoeTennis]

Pink and salmon accents are all fine and good but going anything over 50% pink makes the eyes bleed and cry.

 

[EloQuent]

a salmon dress shirt with darker dress pants / blazer can work. A peach tie with a navy suit can work.

But these outfits are what you'd put a 5 year old girl in. it's not even edgy, just bizarre

 

[SeeingDusk]

i hate how all the brands give the same exact outfit for all its players, with the exception of a few of the top players; they get different outfits.

It's annoying but it makes sense, people notice what Fedal wear, they won't notice what some Russian kid is wearing, unless they suddenly see the same outfit everywhere. That's how you sell things, by making people notice. They should give it more variety, say the same style outfit but with 5 different color options. But then they wouldn't assault our eyes with bubble gum pink everywhere.

 

[stringertom]

Diadora kit that Struff wore was much more tolerable than any of the Schnike crapola. fedr's kit would look OK with black shorts instead of white.

ae

If there was ever an arrogant look, it's that one. That makes me defecate orally.

I don't mind pops of color here and there, but I was hoping Nike and the others would start to move away from the bright-neon-everything trend
