Sgt Pepper Isdatchu???

Roger Federer Sgt Pepper (tm skyejaden) opened play on center court today, and it was a very memorable event. As we tennis enthusiast may know, Roger + Wimbledon = usually unforgettable fashion choices, and this year the man hailed as GOAT in tennis did not disappoint.

Pepper walked on court today wearing a military style jacket and a white/gold duffel bag. Emphasis on gold.



You'd think that's enough fashion statement for Roger and Nike, but hang on a minute! He took off his jacket and we were presented with another layer:



Ooooh Roja. I'm not too sure about the waistcoat/vest thing. I'm not too sure about the whole thing. I understood the mandigan last year, and the jacket 2 years ago was quite smart, but I think you've gone a little too off my comfort this time.

What say you, readers?

P.S: A glimpse of the beautifully pregnant Mirka for the fans:

    Because nothing says military like a tailored vest and a big ass gold bag.

    Seriously, I can't stop laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. On the plus side Mirka, as always, looks so so fab. Love her.

    [...] Wimby 2008, Masha surprised us with – I hope I’m not overusing the term here – a military style jacket that even a woman such as me  – one with more cleavage than is advisable to wear a style [...]

    I totally don't get the pseudo safari jacket matched with a suit vest. It just makes no sense to me at all. And don't get me started about the gold bag. I swear, if I saw that "waving and walking onto the court" picture in The Onion I'd laugh at them for doing their usual "spot on, but one step too far" parody.

    And I thought last year's pretentious cardigan crap was bad. This is just........hilarious. What a tool.

    OMG, OMG, O.M.G.!!! Tommy Haas and Marat...wood racquets...legs...
    ...Aniek, will you marry me? I'm madly in love with you now. ;)

    I swear Tommy says, "Actually, I'm quite impressed by how good I was feeling natch." Me, too, Tommy. You thrill me when you drill me. ;)

    I wondered what you meant by "waving and walking", then I saw the picture again and I just ROFL.

    It's like the emperor's new clothes...

    He looks like an ass. Don't know what is worse the vest, the bag, all the gold the monograms. Really it seems that Nike recicled every Fed Wimby outfit for the past 3 years and added more ridiculousness to the formula.

    "He looks like an ass. "
    Well, you said it there, Stella. He really does.

    So Roger really isn't a man of good taste after all... I'm surprised that Mirka went along with this. Or maybe he was nagging her so much about letting him wear all the gold, that she gave up:
    "Ok, but don't blame me when people say you look like a prat."

    Yes, he's definitely resembling an ass. According to an article on the Telegraph, someone yelled out "We miss you Rafa!" during Fed's match. And this ridiculous ensemble makes me miss Rafa HARD. :*(

    Yeah, whenever I look at Roger in that ridiculous outfit a picture of Rafa in his Wimbly gear pops up next to it in my head. Lovely, bronzed Rafa in sporty, well-fitting gear. It just ain't fair... ):

    Um, have we already mentioned that WE MISS RAFA?!

    This outfit is sooooo ridiculous. I keep laughing at the gold purse. And the vest... and the initials...
    Can you get any more narcissistic?!

    What's he wearing next year? A huge golden cloak with a white fur collar??

    "What’s he wearing next year? A huge golden cloak with a white fur collar??"

    LMFAO!! Seriously, I would not be surprised. He'll prob have a gold RF emblazoned clutch with him as well. You know, for his makeup. Sorry, I'm mean today. ;)
