How would you design RF's new logo if Uniqlo approaches you to make one?

I always thought the RF thing was kind of cheesy. Almost as bad as the Nadal bull!
I'm sure the Uniqlo folks can come up with a Fresh concept. Why not an image of Roger serving, analogous to Air Jordan?

If Fed can’t get his hands on the RF logo, imagine what UNIQLO might be able to come up with:

It wasn’t spectacular in terms of originality, but the font was very elegant to accurately respresent Fed’s game.

You sure, TTW won't file a copyright infringement case on Uniqlo for the FEDR brand?

- Borrow from Jordan and work with some iconic RF silhouette, probably his serve.
- Inverse colours of the Uni Qlo existing square looking to replace with the RF line. This works on a number of levels - flags, branding, uniformity, cohesiveness etc.
- For Chrissakes keep away from using the actual words "RF", "Federer", Roger" etc. Nobody likes to wear clothes [minus team jerseys] with someone else's name on it, that takes branding into worshipdom, which goes too far.
- The white box is filled white, not merely red border. White is a regal colour tricky to get right, texture may be something to explore.
Post Script
It probably works equally well, if not better, to use the same Uni Qlo red backdrop with a white silhouette. But really, whichever way, incorporate as much cohesiveness between the RF-Uni Qlo branding [red/white scheme] so it’s distinctive but also is in synergy.

I would say that the logo makes sense for the next one year or two. But in order to be used for 10 years as the contract is said to last, Roland Garros may need to be banned.

Absolutely. I think part of what made the Jumpman logo appealing was regardless of whom you were a fan of, player, team or whatever, it had broad appeal. You didn’t even need to be awesome at BB to put on a pair of Jordan’s, people wore them off court too.
RF range from Nike is too closely tethered to Federer, and too snooty. Use some unique silhouette like above, or maybe even one of those godly BH’s, and appeal to ALL tennis players, if possible even beyond the tennis universe.

I think it would be better to use something more fedr specific. Above the head finish is usually associated with rafa and dunk with pete. The one posted by EloQuent is a good idea. Lacoste and Yonex nailed backhand shirts imo.

Rusty, the task was to create an image of trade mark Roger's silhouette , not of right handed Nadal lookalike with Roger's legs.
And, yes, I know that this is from a real image of Roger.

Hydro, your logo looks good.
Uniqlo could rebrand Federer as 'CAPTAIN WASABI' with a 'CW' logo.

The larger picture is to get Nadal fans wearing Fed attire. Should be that subtle.

Do you have a mock up of how that sort of design would look with 1. Fed’s classic serve stance (my profile pic) or his iconic inside out FH position?

I think the silhouette made by @Hydrocella looks reall good, but the only possible problem with it is that the follow through employed by Federer in that particular shot is not his standard 'trademark' follow-through, but rather the type of finish he employs on special occasions for extra top spin. In this case, for example, it looks like he was on the run to his right when hitting the shot, which is the type of situation where you do see him employ that particular finish.
The 'trademark' Federer forehand finish of course is the one that wraps around the shoulder.
It is a nice looking silhouette, though.
