Back in 2010, American brand Nike created the iconic “RF” logo for Roger Federer. However, they were the sole owners to its rights. But, since the Swiss player has split with Nike, things could be different. At a conference call at Wimbledon, the 36-year-old?said:

‘The RF logo is with Nike at the moment, but it will come to me at some point. I hope rather sooner than later, that Nike can be nice and helpful in the process to bring it over to me. It?s also something that was very important for me, for the fans really. Look, it?s the process. But the good news is that it will come with me at one point. They are my initials. They are mine. The good thing is it?s not theirs forever.

In a short period of time, it will come to me. Obviously, we also need to figure out with Uniqlo when at one point we can start selling clothes for the public as well. All this has just gotten underway. We?re hopeful the beginning of next year people can also start buying my stuff. For the moment, as fast as retailing as they are, as great as they are, it just needs a bit of time.?

The Swiss ace sported Nike shoes at the All England Club because he does not have a contract with any other brands.

He admitted to not having penned a shoe deal with any brand but was looking forward to seeing what shoes he would wear. For the time being, he will stick to wearing Nike. The American brand have not completely cut ties with him as they are interested in a shoe deal with Federer. The World number 1 has enjoyed a great relationship for the last 20 years.

“Yeah, it?s very exciting also again to see what?s out there, who wants to do something with me,” said Federer.
