Man, I Remember When...

Man, I remember when tennis gear used to be cool. It's not like it's THAT bad today, but we can definitely go back to a better time.

Rocking the Fila Settantatre Polo


Probably the coolest tennis ensemble of all-time, worn by arguably the coolest player of all-time, Bjorn Borg.

Another Wimbledon victory


With Johnny Mac

You can still buy this warm-up jacket (in blue) on the Fila website.



This guy had some cool Adidas gear too back in the day.

 
 
 
 

Lendl (at the time) thought so much of his Adidas gear, that he became possibly the first tennis player to treat his match outfits as "disposable" or "single-use." He routinely would take the shirt and shorts brand new out of the plastic, wear them during the match, then leave the soiled duds at his hotel, on the floor - what a PIMP.
 
 
 
 
As the old saying goes, "you can't have the top, without the bottom."  Lotto's cool 'ventilated' shirt.

Or you can have the top...or at least 90% of it?
