Does anyone know where I can find vintage style clothing that the tennis greats of yester-year wore? I'm thinking the Fila shirts and short shorts (and headbands!) that Bjorn Borg and Ivan Lendl made popular in the 70's and 80's. Any ideas where I could get my hands on some apparel like that? Thanks.

East bay dot com (that should keep it from being blocked out) has the Fila Borg polos in several colors and best of all they are marked down right now...$24 I think. Make sure to order one or two sizes LARGER than you would normaly wear as they are cut small.

BTW, the Borg polo is called "Fila Settanta" so use that as your search word on the East Bay website. They are marked down to $24.99 and $19.99 (a really great price) depending on the colorway.

I collect reebok vintage
In 1989 my dad bought me a reebok polo at some store and in hindsight I should have bought a bunch. It was the from the same line of polos that chang and sanchez-vicario wore when they won the french...that most sponsored players wore in the 80s. I still own it.
Fast forward to now and after a while doing online auctions and $250 later I own 6 of these polos and one jacket all in various color combinations. Maybe I should post a pic.

ditto on the Le Cogue; I had the coolest pair of Le Cogue tennis shoes. Simple -- white with the rooster in the triangle on each side (red trim). I wish I could find more Le Cogue stuff. The current stuff looks real modern (trendy) and seems to only be available at a few places in N.Amer.
