UNIQLO Unveils Brand New ‘RF Caps’ for Roger Federer Ahead of Wimbledon Championships 2021

Published 06/16/2021, 6:35 AM EDT

Tennis ace Roger Federer is one of the most supreme athletes in the sporting world. Over the years, he has created a unique and humble identity for himself that has touched the hearts of millions of fans from all over the globe. For a number of years now he has topped the rankings as far as off-the-court earnings are concerned.

Recently, one of his sponsors, UNIQLO, the Japanese apparel brand that Roger Federer has been sporting since the 2018 season unveiled the latest ‘RF Caps’, specially designed for the Wimbledon Championships 2021. The cap has been designed, keeping the traditional white and green colors of Wimbledon in mind.

Uniqlo and Federer have signed a long-term deal and it is one of the biggest endorsement deals in the recent past. At the end of last year, the Swiss star reacquired his ‘RF’ logo. According to the legalities, Nike still had the rights. However, things are back in place, and ever since the ‘RF Caps’ made it to the markets, they were sold out of stock in a short amount of time.

Coming back to the newly launched cap, it is white, with the ‘RF’ logo sported in green at the center. In another variation, the cap is green colored and the logo is printed in the white color.

Reflecting on tennis, the Swiss maestro returned to action after close to 14 months at Doha in March. After that, he featured in the clay-court event in Geneva as he wanted to play at Roland Garros. In Paris, he reached the fourth round of the French Open 2021 but did not show up for his match.

He was feeling the strain of playing long and tedious matches after returning to action at the highest level. For a 39-year-old player to return after two knee surgeries will take a toll. Therefore, he made a tough decision to pull out mid-way.
