Uniqlo is a Japanese mass-market retailer brand with whom Federer signed a mammoth $300 million dollar deal for 10 years in 2018. Previously, Federer was associated with the American brand, Nike. Federer was with Nike for over two decades, but as he started nearing the end of his career, UNIQLO provided the best post-career options so he chose to switch brands.
Uniqlo is very popular in Japan and has Japanese icon Kei Nishikori in its camp as well. Federer had earlier revealed that he very much loves to design and select his match outfits and thus he is part of the Uniqlo designing team.

Federer’s partnership with Nike hasn’t completely ended, though. Nike supplies Federer with footwear as Uniqlo doesn’t manufacture tennis shoes. Further, in March 2020, Federer got back his iconic ‘RF’ logo from Nike. But since then he has not played, so the initials have not featured on his clothing yet. Let’s see if Federer dawns the logo when he is on court next year.
