Uniqlo Offers Roger Federer Wimbledon Outfit Pre-Order
July 13, 2018, New York, New York – UNIQLO is pleased to begin advance sales of replica gamewear worn by its newest Global Brand Ambassador, Roger Federer, at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships. The gamewear set available for preorder comprises five items: shirt, shorts, headband, wristband, and socks. Orders will be accepted at the Japan UNIQLO.com online store starting July 23*, with delivery scheduled in late September to early October.
Customers all around the world have inquired about Roger Federer gamewear models since UNIQLO’s announcement of its new Global Brand Ambassador. The company decided to offer the advance sales in response to customer demand.
Design
Roger Federer’s gamewear for Wimbledon 2018 was designed at the UNIQLO Paris R&D Center, led by Artistic Director Christophe Lemaire. Instead of the classic polo shirt or crewneck style collar, UNIQLO reflected Roger Federer’s preference for a short stand-up collar to emphasize a more sophisticated look both on and off court. The design of the shirt and shorts is accented by a burgundy color line – incorporated at the edge of the sleeves and the front panel of the shirt, and down the sides of the shorts – to highlight the company’s corporate color, especially at the launch of the partnership.
Highly Functional Dry EX Material Trusted by Top Athletes
Jointly developed by UNIQLO and Toray Industries, Dry EX features a special arched structure that dries faster than ordinary dry function material, preventing the steamy and sticky feeling due to perspiration and keeping a comfortable feel during play. The raised structure is well suited to the strenuous movements of tennis. Highly breathable mesh has been used in areas that accumulate sweat, helping to avoid overheating and allowing the athletes to be at their very best during competition.
