No, you're not looking at Tomas Berdych's practice kit. The Czech baller, who had been sponsored by Nike for years, is now working H&M, beginning at this year's Australian Open and off court as well.
I'm all for simple and classic, but these duds are severely under the top. Maybe it was a rush job or something. Hopefully, the fashion brand will give him something more like fashion in the near future.
As for the shorts, I'm not sure what everyone is bitching about on Twitter. They're not that short. Gimme 70's McEnroe/Borg crotch huggers any day on ballers with legs like Big Berd. Besides, someone needed to carry Vika's torch this year.

Hey Rich,
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that Berdych's Aus Open kit is simply off the rack (hence no branding), and he will commence wearing clothing from the H&M line in the very near future!
Yeah, definitely off the rack. Does that mean he's wearing David Beckham H & M knickers as well? I mean, he is in my version of life.
DeleteNow, I understand ! I was wondering what the heck was going on with his kit the whole AO. I live in Asia so I only got to see the highlights of his matches except the last one where he lost and no mention was made of this very glaring absurdity. I noticed though that there was NO Branding on the kit so whats the point?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing my job. Cheers.
