What is the most “80s vibe” piece of tennis gear you have?

[FlaredButt]

not including Fanny Packs! (Are those 90s?)

My St Vincent PS85. But that's literally it.

And now I’ve gone headfirst into the PS85 rabbit hole! Hahaha thank you, this is why I love this forum.

I have two vintage-looking sleeveless sweaters (Fila and Lacoste) with stripes around the v-neck collar and on the edge of the sleeves - look like old cricket sweaters I used to wear as a kid and those which tennis pros used to wear during the days of wooden racquets. I don’t wear them much even when it is cold as I wear a lightweight, puffy vest instead that does a better job of keeping me warm - looks more modern too.

I have a sergio tachinni jacket with zip out sleeves that makes for a neat vest. It is white with the royal blue on top. vintage McEnroe.
Now I just need to figure out how to stuff my warmup pants legs into my socks.

Thorlos extra-large--they can handle it, if u can bend down far enough.

I have one of these as worn by McEnroe in 1981. The model is called Ghibli if anyone wants one. Sergio Tacchini of course.

Wish I had some sweet 80's gear

One time I bought a sweet vintage Italian jacket like that. Turns out Italians must have short torsos or something, because it fit like a crop top.

 

[FlaredButt]

hahaha crop tops were in during the 80s right?

man yeah McEnroe was pure 80s Americana. That’s a sweet jacket

Seems like 80's was peak fashion. Bill and Ted, Bruce Jenner, Apollo Creed...
