Rafael Nadal’s Nike Wimbledon 2013 whites outshine spring outfit

As per tradition, Wimbledon players are outfitted in pure white, and while one may think that limiting the color palette restricts fashion sense in the already-restricted world of sports fashion, this isn’t necessarily true. Rafael Nadal looks gorgeous in white. (It may be argued, of course, that Rafael Nadal would look good in a burlap sack with holes cut out for arms and and a neck.) Here’s a picture to convince you:

Before you read any further, check out our brief article earlier this year on Rafa’s Spring outfit. Rafa usually is a big hit in fashion. This year, we don’t expect any less. Nike has given Rafa a bit of a rebellious streak this year, by making the collar a little colorful. 

Here’s Nike’s shirt for Rafa:

The rest of the outfit is difficult to judge from the picture that was released.

The hint of color carries onto the shorts in the swoosh. Other than that, the only other color is black, from the sleeve and pocket hems, zippers, and shoes, and grey. Here’s a look at Rafa’s shoe:

I guess we’ll hold our judgment until we see Rafa dressed in this outfit, so as to give it a fair assessment. What are your thoughts? Hate it immediately? Love something about it? Write to us! Leave us a comment below!

  1. Like that person said, he would look good in a burlap sack, He is humble and has class all the way. He is a great person and a pretty good tennis player 🙂 He will be there to win as soon as he is done winning at the French Open

  2. wonderful put up, very informative. I wonder why the opposite experts of this sector do not understand this. You must continue your writing. I am confident, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!|

  3. RAFA,S OUTFITS ALL LOOK GOOD ON HIM,BUT THE ONES WITH BRIGHT COLOURS ADD TO HIS PERSONALITY,WHICH IS REAL AND STRONG EVEN THOUGH RAFA IS A HUMBLE HEART AND THOUGHTFUL,I DO LIKE THE WHITE COLOUR ,WITH COLOURED TRIMS.

  4. No doubt that the outfit needs to be great …. and Rafa could carry any outfit with panache .. but more than the outfit it is the attitude one carries into the tournament, that holds water and we are sure that Nadal has plenty of it. Vamos

  5. They can pour him in a rainbow unicorn outfit and he will still rock the kit 😀 The all white makes Wimbledon a bit monotonous but it’s all about tradition- and with so many neon and fancier kits throughout the season, it is a refreshing change. You @rafaelnadalfc should run a fun contest asking Rafans to imagine and describe: “If you could design Rafa’s kit for Wimbledon what would you do?”
    I love the detailing of the shoe. The nike writing and the inside of the shoe is green, and the black and white with a splash of red, is pretty cool as well.
    But if I were to design his summer kit for SW19 I would take inspiration from this: http://productshots1.modcloth.com/productshots/0126/5499/72190ea150c0cb1df399d52cb204e125.jpg?1363039384
    His outfit would be all white, even the portions that are black and red. The swoosh would be silver and as the look of the outfit goes from the shirt to the shorts- only the end of the shorts would be dipped ombre, just like in the image I have chosen as my inspiration. Keep up the good work guys! You put in so much to keep us updated 😀

  6. No comment, cause he has to wear white uniform, what else you can do instead of white? Nothing right. He will look good in white cause his skin is tan.

  7. I love him in orange and would like to see orange around the neck, bottom of sleeves and around the bottom of the shirt.

  8. Tenho que concordar com avaliação feita sobre os trajes que Rafa veste pois a Nike é muito inovadora, não compromete o visual do atleta ao contrário,ela alcança o estilo de cada jogador e não diferente Rafa fica bem em tudo que veste, tem um físico privilegiado e eleva o nível da Nike parabéns pois em Wimbledon não será diferente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
