Players gear during a tournament

[Mazinmattar]

I was wondering how much gear (shoes, clothes etc..) does a sponsor give to his players..does it depend on the players ranking? And how the company profit after supplying a huge demand of sponsored players worldwide

Here is a great example:
Kasatkina (WTA Top 10/20) showing off everything she received from Adidas for Roland Garros and the early Grass season.
She got:

• 3 pairs of clay barricades
• 3 pairs of grass barricades
• 15 pairs of socks
• 10 packs of wristbands
• multiple pairs of leggings
• multiple jackets
• around a dozen changes of clothes for practice (shirts and shorts)
• around a dozen changes of clothes for matches (tops and skirts)

This is expected to last them around 4 tournaments, so Roland Garros + the grass season pre-Wimbledon.

A company showcases their products (shoes or clothing) with World Class tennis players. Costs are underwritten by advertising budgets, but only a select number of players are selected by each company to keep demand within reason.

The cost to make clothes is substantially cheaper than the price tag you see at stores. Way, waaaaayyyyyyyy cheaper.
