It would have been OK if he went to Addidas or something. Its just UniQlo sounds like a a washing machine Manufacturer. How do the Japanese like this brand so much?
Tad Ficus Catus True. Uniqlo is paying him $300M for 10 years but Roger as their ambassador will be generating income for them probably 5x in the same time frame.
My first reaction when I saw a different logo on Federer: what the hell, he looks aweful! My reaction as match went on: He looks just like the Federer I know when he's playing, regardless of the logo. My reaction after match: Federer is Federer. He will be Federer even if he steps on court wearing his pajamas. His fluidity, efficiency and grace will make anything he wears shine. All I can say is Uniqlo is one very lucky company to have Roger sport them.
FP I agree. The swoosh was much more elegant. Just a shame for Nike really that they couldn't keep him. Doesn't take away anything from him and everything from them though
It would have been OK if he went to Addidas or something. Its just UniQlo sounds like a a washing machine Manufacturer. A budget one aswell. How do the Japanese like this brand so much?
Syn het It’s not gonna stay with him because he will have to buy it from Nike. They are working out a deal. Jordan had to do the same with his jumpman logo.
Jennifer Ou LOL!!!! He’s spends too much time learning to speak other languages and enough time learning how to beat Roger and Rafa for grand slams lol!!!!
Debbie Polites Nike knows business. Federer is at the end of his career. They’re not about to pay him $300 million for 1-2 more years and then he retires. That’s insane. The Japanese are insane lol... kamikaze all the way. Rogers going to collect $30 million a year for like 8 years without having to work lol!!!!
I’m a big Federer fan but I’m not upset with the change in brand, sure I’d have to change all my Nike gear to uniqlo lol but I’m just glad he himself is not gone from the sport and we can all watch him play tennis!
Unbelievable how the Swiss-German answer about the new contract with UniQulo differ from the english ones! Much more details and emotions about the new clothes and about the new contract! He feels much more comfortable to talk about these details in German!
He talked about that his contract with NIKE ended in March and since then he thought that another deal with NIKE would happen. He started looking for a new clothing deal at the point the contract ended and not before, because he thought it was the right thing to do. So the negotiations with NIKE were negative and as a result Roger looked for something new. He decided to go with UNIQULO because as a fashion brand and not only a sport clothing brand they are very interested in working with the RF brand after Federers active career. Roger said, that he hopes to write a new chapter with UNIQULO to establish the brand in sports clothing and to open up a store in Zurich. He said, that he is very interested in the Asian market and he thinks it has a huge potential. He also likes the Asian culture and after his career it could be the case, that he will be more involved in the Asian region. These are the main things I can remember!
Philipp danke 😁😂 verstanden habe ich 80% des Interviews, nur ein paar Details habe ich nicht nachvollzogen können 😁 meine Oma hat mir beim Entziffern geholfen haha 😂
Why Federer should be care about Nike when american company not concentrate him than it should be. Uniqlo is care him so much and gave more credit to him much more than Nike never happened
Ah Roger Federer.I've seen wet cardboard boxes with more dynamic personalities.But there's no denying the guy's the greatest player the game has ever known
Props to Nike for not paying that ridiculous price to keep him. 10 years? Are they crazy? They will get one year out of him tops. Uniqlo has more money than sense.
Seriously!? Nike missed a massive opportunity. Roger should have a lifetime contract with Nike. LeBron and Ronaldo have one. Roger is deffinitely more successful. It is beyond me how they let him go.
Cant understand why NIKE didn`t do much more to keep Roger Federer under contract! The only reason I could think about is, that his expectations moneywise were out of this world!
Surprised Nike let him go ! I thought he had a life-long contact with them, just like Michael Jordan has. I think it's a mistake from Nike, Roger is for sure in top 5 athletes of all times, if not No 1, in the past Nike usually wanted to have those kind of elite athletes on those life-long contacts. Now I wonder will they let go Nadal as well...
Gonna take me a while before I get used to seeing Federer in something other than Nike - and by then he might be retired. The headband without the swoosh at the front was hard to watch. I understand why Fed would make the change ($300 million guaranteed over the next ten years is hard to turn down) and I also understand Nike's thinking. Doesn't that I should like it
Not the first time a tennis player has signed for Uniqlo. Djokovic was wearing them a few years ago and they had really ugly designs plain one colour clothes. Not a fan but who cares what Roger wears as long as he is playing well like he did in Stuttgart
His German is so different, of course because it's a Swiss accent but still... I can't understand most of it hahah... and I speak pretty much fluent German (I'm Dutch)
I have to say it doesn’t really sit right with me that after 15 years of Nike giving him his own line of clothing and shoes he all the sudden switches to Uniqlo and acts like nothing happened.
Nike haven't designed a cool kit for Roger in ages. People only like AO17 because he won the slam - if he lost in the first round nobody would pretend to like it.
Uniqlo is mostly boring. Nike can be quite bollocks sometimes but at least they try new stuff. Uniqlo is usually the same. They made some good outfits for Novak but they were mostly similar
Wäre schön wenn die Näherinnen bei uniqlo einen anständigen Lohn bezahlt bekommen. 300 Millionen für einen 10 Jahresvertrag irgendwer wird dafür bezahlen müssen.
it’s so so brand...mid-low price clothes..not fancy at all..not fashionable..not even close NIKE in every ways..i know it’s all about money..but still feel sorry about that...!!!
roter13 whaaaaaa-everrrrr. Sorry how many times has Rafa had “cup cake” draw at RG only real opponent being Nole in his finals and he’s got 10 titles. Whereas in Federer’s side of the draw lopsided with weighty players. Wimbledon gives Roger even draws. Rafa and him have gotten knocked out by players ranked in the 100’s so I don’t think the draw is the issue and At least if anything we know Roger is a one handed player always at a disadvantage b/c of that so there’s no real “cup cake” draw.
He acts so humble in front of main stream cameras, but the first reply shows he’s arrogant and defensive as hell. Dropping Nike for $300m and to dress dumb LOL
He has only a few years left. Nike IS Federer, and Federer IS Nike. Everyone was happy. Federer is just being greedy. Is he going to drop Rolex for Casio now?
Homeslice Nike didn’t treat him like one of there a list athletes so he left, it has less to do with the money and more to do with how Nike treated him
Homeslice The reason he left Nike was not for the money, it was the fact that they kind of started treating him as a second grade athlete, which is why he switched. Roger really doesn't need much more money.
Roger IS the brand!
It would have been OK if he went to Addidas or something. Its just UniQlo sounds like a a washing machine Manufacturer. How do the Japanese like this brand so much?
Actually Uniqlo is now more popular internationally than in Japan
Should of went to addidas i agree. I mean their german and swiss is right near german so it makes sense.
Arvin Unabia Federer is sponsoring Uniqlo.
Tad Ficus Catus True. Uniqlo is paying him $300M for 10 years but Roger as their ambassador will be generating income for them probably 5x in the same time frame.

His fluidity, efficiency and grace will make anything he wears shine. All I can say is Uniqlo is one very lucky company to have Roger sport them.
It is kinda of coarse. They just need to come up with a logo
FP I agree. The swoosh was much more elegant. Just a shame for Nike really that they couldn't keep him. Doesn't take away anything from him and everything from them though
Sharada K Lucky? Oldman will retire in 2 years, what a waste of money, I can't believe it.
Sharada K I don't care if he wears ropes as long as he plays great and still compete at the highest level
It would have been OK if he went to Addidas or something. Its just UniQlo sounds like a a washing machine Manufacturer. A budget one aswell. How do the Japanese like this brand so much?
Calm professional and humble gets the job done. Greatest of all time bar none
Glad to hear that the RF logo is gonna stay with him and therefore uniqlo!
Syn het It’s not gonna stay with him because he will have to buy it from Nike. They are working out a deal. Jordan had to do the same with his jumpman logo.
Doesn’t matter what he wears. Still the same great Federer. Still the GOAT
I like Roger Federer. I like tennis
I actually like him in UNIQLO. It's something different, and fresh.
Kizaru I agree
Kizaru it feels weird to me but I'll get used to it, as long as Roger plays well I don't mind what brand he wears.
Yeah
I agree. Exciting and new!
Really happy that Wimbledon is now posting the entire interview. Mad props.
GOAT
Federer, the man of surprises.
So strange to see roger not wearing Nike. On the other hand. Uniqlo is my favorite brand so I'm glad too 😁
Macs2015 imagine Uniqlo being better than Nike lol
I like Uniqlo, especially for casual wears.
What a legend, English, Swiss-Greman, French, German? who else does that?
one proper comment here
Novak: Serbian English German Italian French and a lil bit of Spanish
On Air Mastering Hingis.
Djokovic speaks 4 or 5 languages, not including Croatian and Bosnian which are 99% similar to Serbian
Jennifer Ou LOL!!!! He’s spends too much time learning to speak other languages and enough time learning how to beat Roger and Rafa for grand slams lol!!!!
It's not the brand of wares but the brand of tennis he plays that matters. Hopefully we get to see him on the green lawns for some time. :)
change is hard, but change is good 👌
🐐
Go Roger Go, This is your best opportunity get the 9th Wimbledon in Style.
I think nike was wrong to let him go, but i will be glad when he gets the rf logo back to him again 👍👊❤
Debbie Polites Nike knows business. Federer is at the end of his career. They’re not about to pay him $300 million for 1-2 more years and then he retires. That’s insane. The Japanese are insane lol... kamikaze all the way. Rogers going to collect $30 million a year for like 8 years without having to work lol!!!!
Je disais , je dis et je dirai que mon king a une energie renouvlable.Il me surprend tjr
I’m a big Federer fan but I’m not upset with the change in brand, sure I’d have to change all my Nike gear to uniqlo lol but I’m just glad he himself is not gone from the sport and we can all watch him play tennis!
Finally! the full press conference on the Wimbledon Channel
Uni Qlo is wearing Roger, not the other way around :)
Unbelievable how the Swiss-German answer about the new contract with UniQulo differ from the english ones! Much more details and emotions about the new clothes and about the new contract! He feels much more comfortable to talk about these details in German!
I'm English.. What more did he say in Swiss-German?
Philipp genau das! Aber als ein Deutscher hatte ich Probleme ein paar Gesprächteile zu verstehen, das ist Schweizdeutsch 😂
He talked about that his contract with NIKE ended in March and since then he thought that another deal with NIKE would happen. He started looking for a new clothing deal at the point the contract ended and not before, because he thought it was the right thing to do. So the negotiations with NIKE were negative and as a result Roger looked for something new.

Philipp danke 😁😂 verstanden habe ich 80% des Interviews, nur ein paar Details habe ich nicht nachvollzogen können 😁 meine Oma hat mir beim Entziffern geholfen haha 😂
Philipp Thank you😀
slap 3 logos on the sweater, just do it!
-SVP of uniqlo design
Macht‘s gut Roger👍😊🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
The uniqlo shirt doesn't look bad
BEL18VE in Federer he deserves every dollar of his new mega deal
BEL18VE in Federer Be21eve
Roger is a Uniqlo guy now! Wow. I wonder what shoes he will wear.
Nevermind. I see the shoes are still Nike. The rest in Uniqlo.
i love uniqlo ever since novak wore it but i cannot imagine uniqlo shoes ewww
Now, I will try UNIQLO
I had never heard of Uniqlo before I heard that Federer was going to sponsor them.
amazing how he switches from one language to another one...
Omg, Roger’s wearing Uni Glo! 😳😱👌🏾☀️👍
Federer would look pretty snazzy in some uniqlo apparel in Asics Gel Resolutions!
Does anyone know where I can get the Uniqlo jacket that Roger is wearing? It looks soooo good!
300 million for wearing a shirt and ppl here discus about fashion
Because he have over million fans and he very popular.
Why Federer should be care about Nike when american company not concentrate him than it should be.
Uniqlo is care him so much and gave more credit to him much more than Nike never happened
Does it really matter what he wears? Clothes don’t make the man :)
manners maketh man
Federer is sponsoring Uniqlo.
different logo on the shirt, same brand of exquisite tennis
300 million a bargain 4 the mighty fed
Is he wearing Nole’s leftover hoodies?
Ah Roger Federer.I've seen wet cardboard boxes with more dynamic personalities.But there's no denying the guy's the greatest player the game has ever known
Props to Nike for not paying that ridiculous price to keep him. 10 years? Are they crazy? They will get one year out of him tops. Uniqlo has more money than sense.
Seriously!? Nike missed a massive opportunity. Roger should have a lifetime contract with Nike. LeBron and Ronaldo have one. Roger is deffinitely more successful. It is beyond me how they let him go.
I swear he looks 70 years old. Damn what happened grandma Federer!
Wonder when they are going to replace the Temporary stickers with real UNIQLO Logos?
Cant understand why NIKE didn`t do much more to keep Roger Federer under contract! The only reason I could think about is, that his expectations moneywise were out of this world!
Surprised Nike let him go !
I thought he had a life-long contact with them, just like Michael Jordan has.

I understand why Fed would make the change ($300 million guaranteed over the next ten years is hard to turn down) and I also understand Nike's thinking. Doesn't that I should like it
Me too. It should have been a lifetime contract with Nike, like Jordan, LeBron and Cristiano. It is beyond me how they let him go.
Remind me of Novak's jacket when he used UniQlo before
Not the first time a tennis player has signed for Uniqlo. Djokovic was wearing them a few years ago and they had really ugly designs plain one colour clothes. Not a fan but who cares what Roger wears as long as he is playing well like he did in Stuttgart
i wish roger would of signed to Lacoste, now that would of been epic!
federer in uniqlo, he looks younger =D
ユニクロ... 👑Roger Federer. Are Nike shoes best?
His German is so different, of course because it's a Swiss accent but still... I can't understand most of it hahah... and I speak pretty much fluent German (I'm Dutch)
So glad he got rid of the exploiting evil tic behemoth.
Yeah can’t say I remember Wimbledon when I was four or understood who would win. I remember McEnroe and copying him throwing a tantrum.
I have to say it doesn’t really sit right with me that after 15 years of Nike giving him his own line of clothing and shoes he all the sudden switches to Uniqlo and acts like nothing happened.
Uniqlo clothing has such boring designs lol. Go look at Rogers outfit Aussie Open 2017. Uniqlo just can’t match that.
Wimbledon has always boring outfits. And its the first outfit for roger from uniqlo, i am sure they will bring up some beautiful ones.
Thiem and Zverev had the Zebra outfit at the Us Open in the previous year
AO ‘17 was a monstrosity. It’s nostalgia which makes it look good.
I agree...sports athletic designers get too carried away with craziness rather than classiness! Uniqlo is class!
Nike haven't designed a cool kit for Roger in ages. People only like AO17 because he won the slam - if he lost in the first round nobody would pretend to like it.
Uniqlo is mostly boring. Nike can be quite bollocks sometimes but at least they try new stuff. Uniqlo is usually the same. They made some good outfits for Novak but they were mostly similar
Federer is saying a lot of things here in different languages. But all I can think of is that weird logo on his jacket. Doesn't quite look.....right.
tan116A try to look left then😂😂😂
Never heard of Uniqlo until now. They must be a European brand.
Stone W Japanese. Novak and Kei have worn it
Stone W nope a Japanese brand
It's a Japanese brand
I'm European and I'd literally never heard of them
I see. Thanks for the info....
Calling a few upsets tomorrow Nole will probably lose in a tight four sets and rafa will lose in straight sets .
hope so..
Rafa losing in straight sets to Sela? Lol come on
Rafa is gonna win in straights lol
Bakheet Aljedhi
I so hope so
Bakheet Aljedhi Rafa will definely win, idk about Novak, probably win too in 4 sets. But I've been wrong before.
Wäre schön wenn die Näherinnen bei uniqlo einen anständigen Lohn bezahlt bekommen. 300 Millionen für einen 10 Jahresvertrag irgendwer wird dafür bezahlen müssen.
He dont look right without nike
Doesn't seem right him wearing that brand. I guess he choose money rather then loyalty to Nike who are the biggest clothing brand
No, Nike weren't making him a decent offer. He only went searching for sponsors after his contract with Nike had expired.
300 cough million cough
Cilic, Del Potro, Nadal, Zverev, Edmund. Not federer.
Hang on...couldn’t handle him without his logo. Surely this is mental illness?
Eye
it’s so so brand...mid-low price clothes..not fancy at all..not fashionable..not even close NIKE in every ways..i know it’s all about money..but still feel sorry about that...!!!
Nike suits him better, uniqlo is boring :(
I don't like it seeing him in UNIQLO
Give yourself a day or two
Doesn't look good. Nike looked quite classy. This not.
Another year, another Federer cupcake draw...
roter13
another video, another hating comment...
roter13 so true Federer 7 easy wins in a row nothing new there mate
raphael Nadal What "legends" are standing in nadull's way?
Donkey Kong lol bro your comments are freakin hilarious, keep it up
roter13 whaaaaaa-everrrrr. Sorry how many times has Rafa had “cup cake” draw at RG only real opponent being Nole in his finals and he’s got 10 titles. Whereas in Federer’s side of the draw lopsided with weighty players. Wimbledon gives Roger even draws.

Dont like him never have liked him
He acts so humble in front of main stream cameras, but the first reply shows he’s arrogant and defensive as hell. Dropping Nike for $300m and to dress dumb LOL
Homeslice you'd drop Nike for $5 LOL
He has only a few years left. Nike IS Federer, and Federer IS Nike. Everyone was happy. Federer is just being greedy. Is he going to drop Rolex for Casio now?
Homeslice Nike didn’t treat him like one of there a list athletes so he left, it has less to do with the money and more to do with how Nike treated him

Gopi Sunkara sooo true mate
Weak era king
Weak brain douche Bag LOL!
Fed is in his 20th year at Wimbledon. Ya, it has been a weak 20 years. And here he is, almost 37 and was number one just two weeks ago.
