Further in his message, Federer acknowledged how much the cap is adored by him and his fans. Since Federer switched to Uniqlo in 2018, the logo has been missing and fans have been wanting to see it back.
“This hat has meant so much to me and to my fans over the years. It has given us a way to visibly connect, and I have appreciated the opportunity to thrive off this supportive energy.”

Over the years, the logo has been associated with Federer’s success on the court. With Roger Federer becoming a brand in himself, the logo played the part of the symbol. But the switch to Japanese brand Uniqlo in 2018 caused an ownership dispute of the logo between Federer and Nike.
During their partnership, Nike used the logo extensively and kept evolving it. Nike had registered the ‘RF’ logo as its trademark in 2009. But now finally in 2020, Roger Federer has the full ownership of the logo. Now expect Uniqlo to use the logo in other forms of clothing as well.
