Tennis and Fashion (POLL)

Is this a good kit?

Every year at every major a lot of discussion on twitter and other platforms focuses on “kits” different top players wear from whatever company provides their clothing.   Federer’s Wimbledon jackets, sweaters, shoes etc. got a lot of attention.  I understand that one of the upsides for tennis is that (regardless of its ratings) players can be walking billboards for racquets, shoes, clothes, watches …

I have nothing against people who are drawn to this aspect of tennis.  Most things  that get people interested in tennis are a plus from my perspective.  I will also say that tennis fashion is not my cup of tea.  I know from playing and coaching that a player can go out and buy the equipment of a top player and look like a mirror image of a pro and still get beaten badly on the court.  Beyond that, I will freely admit that l like Downton Abbey but die a little bit inside every time I  hear about “the world of Ralph Lauren” in the sponsorship introduction to each US released episode.*

Here is your chance for Feedback:

 

* – I also die a little bit each time the Keurig machine at work asks for a “portion packet” when I want coffee.  I am a simple person when it comes to clothes and a cup of joe.
