Roger Federer: “Something I’ve been waiting for a while now”

Recently while speaking to Roger, about the feeling he has on acquiring the ‘RF’ logo back, he said, “Look, obviously I’m very happy. It’s been something I’ve been waiting to happen for a while now. I always knew that with Nike it would come back. In the short term, I just tried to get it back sooner for the fans and now that it’s here, I’ve been working with Uniqlo for some time now to get it back. They are a great company. Their inputs have been wonderful. The style, look, and the process was great.”

The former Wimbledon champion stated that he was happy with Uniqlo and the work they’re doing. They’ve already started making umbrellas and caps with the logo printed on it.

Federer also revealed that his parents are really thrilled about receiving this news and seeing the reaction from fans. He also added, “For me personally, I’m very proud of it. My parents are going crazy with all my fans knowing about it coming out. On December 8 it is officially going to be launched. It’s exciting times because it’s an iconic fan piece for all the people in the Tennis community who have supported me over all these years.”
