Roger Federer Wears a Terrible Outfit at the US Open, Everyone Freaks Out Accordingly

People have different opinions on Federer, but one thing everyone can usually agree on is that he’s a pretty snazzy dresser.

That is, until tonight, when he unveiled his 2013 U.S. Open night kit. Without further ado:

What do you think the worst part is? The shorts? The horribly out-of-place black socks and shoes?

Even the bright pink little details in Federer’s shirt are comically out of place: pic.twitter.com/bGWHHijUuv

Or that.

Anyways, fashion critics on Twitter had a field day:

OK, now the jacket is off, I can see that that is the most hideous night kit Federer has ever worn. Literally no redeeming feature.

Over the years, some of Fed’s kit and accessory choices – such as the Wimbledon, um, extravaganzas – could be defended as fun. But this….

Maybe twins picked it out. @bradhunter: Fashion misstep Roger. Those blue shorts with dark top and shoes? Can’t believe Anna approved that.

Well, that’s definitely not it. RT @Ratazana: Perhaps none of us are fashion forward enough?

Maybe roger thought he grabbed the dark gray shorts but accidentally grabbed the day-glo blue practice shorts.

This fashion misstep is harder to watch than Fed’s summer tennis.

I didn’t know Stella was designing men’s kits now.

Dear Nike: Exactly which part of the tennis market are you aiming at with this gawdforsaken kit? Nursing home inmates?

Or during the match. RT @ChiaraGamTWI: Can please someone can ask to Federer after the match to change this shorts?

Finally the Internet agrees about SOMETHING. #federer

Has @PseudoFed fired Nike yet? #usopen

Later, Gilbert took Federer aside and explained to him what Winning Ugly was really about.

Anyways, at Time of Publication, Federer is up 6-2, 2-0 over Adrian Mannarino. That’s good news for Federer and his fans, but bad news for everyone who will likely have to see this night kit again.
