The most pathetic tennis gear in history.

Get all your anger out at the manufacturers who actually thought of this gear. Rackets, clothes, balls, etc is welcome. Let me start us off with an awful timeless classic:

Simple. These two jokes - both endorsed by Brad Gilbert.

Next time someone tries to hold him up as an expert voice remember he promoted two of the most laughable pieces of **** tennis-related products ever invented.

Djokovic hasn't had too many bad outfits, but this disaster just stands out from the pack:

Don't know how anyone at Uniqlo thought this would be a good idea.

All of the Nike from the 2020 Australian Open, 2019 French Open. Pretty much most all Nike these days. The 2019 US Open was actually nice for a change

Who needs the milkman or the postman when you have the Millman?

I know this spoils things rotten [side-splitter/spoiler-alert] but please I beg, gotta diagram that one ... what the HECK is "The Millman?"
That's gotta go down posterity. "Do the Millman." SURELY there's a "signature pose" & dance move that goes w/ ?? Can anybody say ... ? ... pompadour on top?

I apologize but I'm LMAO w/o the slightest idea ... Is there a "Ruprecht?" [the monkey boy]

The Millman is a mythical being. Legend has it that he only appears when Fedr is having a bad day, just to make it worse.

I can forgive Adidas for Zebrev because at least they learned from their mistake and more than made up for it with actual great designs like this:

Meanwhile Nadal's outfits just got worse and worse after that. Nike doubled and tripled down on the sleeveless + terrible color combo.
Again, liked the Zebra, and, in my opinion, Nadal's 2018 outfit was the pinnacle of Nike's modern shirtless badness, while the rest, while being awful and grotesque in their own right, were actually an improvement.

Agreed on the last part. It's either AO18 or AO20 for me. IW 19 was pretty bad too. Meanwhile they've also made some great kits for him recently like RG18 and 19, and the Toronto 18 red.

I personally wasn't a fan of the zebra, but it wasn't exactly terrible either IMO.
