I like the Bluegrass color of Federer's shirt and bandanna. The stripes on the sleeve do add a tasteful departure from his mostly classical/conservative kits. I have to give some credit to Nike for trying something different with a fade on his shoes. A club player could be comfortable buying this. B+
Rafa has always had the edgier designs from Nike. Last year, by decking him in polos, Nike attempted to make Rafa's kits more grown up. This year they've put him in crews and restored some the edginess. They're playing a delicate balance between edgy and grown up. This one succeeds. A.
A ball kid was asked to step in to play. The orange on Tsonga is the only variation of the same cut and style of every crew that Adidas has done the last few years. Ok, they've added a black or white line. Otherwise, total bore. C
Nothing really new here as Nando has been wearing this blue kit with diagonol stripes the entire clay court season. It's nice of Adidas to try a different pattern, but can't they do something different for a Slam? B-
Adidas, didn't you sign Muzz to a $5 million/year deal? Muzz may be ugly, and folks might want to punch out his teeth, but can a change of colors be that hard? Epic fail for not changing his kit since January. F
The fadeaway from white to blue on the Djoker's polo suits his flamboyant personality. Sergio Tachini has done the stripes across the chest since forever.
I see it working for certain kinds of guys. B+
ARod's Lacoste kit follows the tired theme of navy with white. (BTW, I wonder if ARod changed to a platform stance for his serve). This time we get stripes, and delete the tri-colored stripe on the collar. It's blah! C
