I always liked the 'Charlie Brown' kit in the third photo.

Is there any truth to the rumor that his real father is Clancy Wiggum?

and of course, the topic of the article....

How on earth did he land a lifetime contract with NB?

The New Balance 996v3 are my shoe of choice. Not because of Raonic but because they fit me perfectly, have the just right cushion are low to the ground, and have the perfect grip (not too sticky, but not too slick).
I like some NB apparel as well.
Whether Raonic was a good sign or not, the products are good.

I would drop Milos and try and get Tiafoe and/or Fritz.
Get the Amerians in an American brand. Milos doesn't sell things.. he just... doesn't.

Agreed. Tiafoe way over Fritz though. There just aren't many Americans to choose from.

Agreed. Something off about him. Even my wife has commented on what a dork he looks like.
Also his grip on the serve and fh look awkward and painful.

Raonic looks like the kid who sits in the front of the class and rats you out for looking at someone else's test.
I disagree about the serve motion. It's one of the most elegant, technically perfect serve motions on tour (similar to Roddick, whose game was generally blunt and inelegant, but had an amazing serve motion). His groundstrokes do look painful, though.

Def agree with the first part you wrote.

put a little packet of "baking soda" in the pocket of each Dan Evan's signature item.

They're quite low to the ground though, good court feel.

Don't know if anyone noticed, but Gauff is in New Balance...for now.
I understand that she has a ways to go, but I'll bet her parents are courting offers from adidas and Nike right now.

That's a good call. Gauff is going to move a lot of products as she comes into her own.

Gauff will be in Nike or Adidas before long. NB doesn't have the cash to compete with them.

Do you have the link for the original article about designing the perfect tennis kit?

I read it in print from Tennis magazine. I don't know where it is online.

I liked Raonic in NB, their outfits are a bit unique but nothing extra ugly/out of the ordinary. His average results lately though don’t bring much exposure to the brand and even the women they have signed (Cirstea, Watson, Ferro, Collins) don’t have huge results. They lucked out with Gauff, but wonder for how long did they sign her.
Meanwhile, Tsitsipas is either trolling on Twitter or he can’t keep his mouth shut about being the new tennis face of New Balance

He most certainly isn't the new face of New Balance.
