I have Federer US Open 2005 shirt new in pack with tags. I think it could have its place in this discussion.

Is this a rare version? I have a used pair, but didn't realize it's rare if so...The new TR+1s? Which ones, the rafa ones?
BTW: I think they were probably wear-test or sales samples. He's probably talking about these:

That's a classic! I went crazy with these for a while. I have 2 M, 2 M new with tags/bagged and an XL. Also found 2 medium kid's sizes for my wife

Haha. Presumably you have a big collection then? How do you store it?
I got two of the RF Wimbledon Henleys and 2 Dimitrov Wimbledon Nike polos because white always get ruined

I have one of each of the marquee shirts on hangers. (All grand slams of Federer, Nadal, Hewitt). Some of my shoes on shoe racks. Luckily I have a room dedicated to it with it's own walk-in closet. And the rest in sturdy 80 litre plastic containers, in total 10 of them.
I usually check the shirts each 6-12 months and rewash any that aren't perfect. Usually in a big laundry tub of washing treaters and baking soda. Always does the trick.
I just signed up for Instagram and posted a video showing the storage room and walk-in closet.

They weren't limited at the time (it was the USO day shoes that were the limited edition), however now they are reasonably hard to get. They do pop up on the auction site though and never cost too much.

That's them. Thanks.
I've also got a brand new with tags Nadal 2007 Wimbledon sleeveless top. A couple sizes too small, but I hang on to it as a collector's item.

I still kick myself for not buying one. Awesome shirt.
I have a lightly worn pair too. Feel like bricks compared to current Vapors.
I have this 06 IW shirt - not in the greatest shape - swoosh has worn off - still pretty nice.

Had that shirt and the green warms ups tooIt gets better... This is an Agassi outfit from 1994 which he gave to me at an exhibition match. I've never seen it anywhere - I can't even find a photo of it online.
The yellow detail on the back is actually made out of partially see-through mesh. (I have the shorts but they're just plain green)

Can understand having it for collection value, but damn if his logo ain't ugly.Added 3 of those to the collection.
Is small too, but it turns me off on some of the Lacoste stuff. And they've been producing some nice kits for him.

When I was in high school and shortly thereafter I used to collect the Federer and Nadal bandanas.
Probably the rarest one that I have left is the teal bandana that was featured at Indian Wells in 2013.
It was an exclusive release for that tournament.
Another item that I recently came across was the Nike Challenger Crew that was featured on Aliassime, Rublev, Tiafoe, Sinner, and Fritz at this year's US Open (and also the French).
It was only available for about 3-4 weeks in the US.
I have it featured near the end of this video:

I bought a bunch of wristbands from 2007-2009, some are samples for pro athletes. Cant find the tournaments yet when these were used because google cant find anything with those product codes, probably too old haha
I'm in the same boat. I have them grouped using the year next to the copyright. But then some of the years don't match up to the actual seasons I found online.

No, not really. It was an alternative crew, just like back in 2013 when the navy/volt didn’t hit retail.

Love the color, but have to pass on the zebra print. Ironically, I actually liked the one at AO that year.Nadal wore these shoes for only ONE Tournament Montreal 2019 and they were NEVER released this colorway to the public.

This particular model wasn't sold, but there was a similar 100% polyester variant available (black, white, navy) that felt pretty much the same. One thing you can notice in some of Novak's personal hoodies, shorts and pants is that he has those "mental, energy, positivity" symbols on the inside (that also appear in retail jackets):
On the outside logo is bigger, but apart from that everything is the same.
