Sporty-Love: Ralph Lauren is revamping the uniforms for this year's Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Polo may be its signature sport, however Ralph Lauren has been showing big love for another game—tennis—for years. And for the first time since the brand became the official outfitters of Wimbledon in 2006, the uniforms are getting an update.
"Wimbledon is a premier sporting event and we are honored to be a part of such a long-standing tradition in the history of tennis," said David Lauren, the company’s executive vice president of advertising, marketing and corporate communications, according to the Telegraph.
While Wimbledon athletes obviously have their choice of brand to sport on the grass, Ralph Lauren will outfit all the on-court officials, including ball boys and girls and umpires. This year’s updated uniform includes a navy blue polo shirt with diagonal stripes of green and purple—the tournament’s colors—across the chest. (Of course, there’s also that polo pony…)
Wimbledon kicks off in London on June 20—but if you can’t cross the pond to catch Federer or Sharapova, don’t fret: the Ralph Lauren Wimbledon Collection is available now at RalphLauren.com.
