FEDERER RIPPED FOR WIMBLEDON ATTIRE
Roger Federer swings and misses with his Wimbledon attire, at least according to the Sports Business Daily. The daily bible for the sports marketing industry, in its “Hit and Miss” look back at the sports business year in 2009, gave Federer a “Miss” for his warm-up outfits worn the last few years at Wimbledon. Writes SBD, “Roger Federer earns all the admiration in the world for his play on the court, but will someone please tell him (and Nike) to dial back the ridiculous warm-up outfits like the ones he sports at Wimbledon? One writer describes a waistcoat as giving Federer “a slight air of Costa Brava cocktail waiter.” We understand Federer’s love of fashion and interest in developing his image, but c’mon, be authentic! Add to that Federer donning a jacket with the “15” mark right after beating Andy Roddick in an epic men’s final, which smacks of arrogance.”
Federer first wore the stylish jacket in 2006, pictured here on the cover of the book THE ROGER FEDERER STORY: QUEST FOR PERFECTION.
losers. Some people have too much time at their hands dont they?
i agree! wow, there just jealous that he has a great STYLE!
Roger is a genius..he is perfect..the person who wrote this is an asshole
Ok…Maybe warming up in that thing was a little too much, it just did not look comfortble! however, Roger after 15 grand slams frankly CAN do what he wants and he looked great in that outfit I loved it. if you have critics that means you are successful. so I wouldn't worry about an article probably written by someone who's never held a racket in his life. Roger Federer is the best thing that happened to tennis….after all he is the reason why we even read this guy's article! so people who write article need to give it a little more thought…
