Is Roger Federer Pretty in Pink?

You know what the best thing about Roger Federer’s wearing of the pink shirt is?

People are just talking about the pink shirt. In other words, Federer’s diminishing returns on the court and his change of coach aren’t hot topics of conversation, which goes a long way toward establishing just how big of a component fashion has become in the world of professional tennis.

It’s sort of like when a baby is starting to feel hungry and sleepy, so you distract him with your car keys. The keys are shiny and different and interesting to the baby, just like King Roger’s Pepto-Bismol togs are shiny and different and interesting to the tennis-watching world.

Federer is nothing if not a showman, but he’s also very savvy, and news of the pink shirt’s debut has been public knowledge for nearly a month. So far, the reviews have been good.

An informal poll on one Tennis forum had 53.7 percent of the voters calling the shirt “nice,” while 23.9 percent opted for “ugly” and the other 22.4 percent hailing it as “gay.”

From a fashion sense let’s face it, Roger Federer is going to look good in pretty much anything, ditto Rafael Nadal, Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova. When you’re that good looking and in such incredible shape, you make the clothing look good, not the other way around.

	Roger looks fabulous in pink and brown. I think Nadal is the one who looks ridiculous in that ugly dark pink. Why is he copying Roger with the pink? Couldn't he find another color? Roger looks fantastic and Nadal looks like he puked all over his shirt !

	I don't think any man should ever wear pink period.

	The pink shirt and khaki shorts reminds me of the uniform I wore at Baskin Robbins as a teenager scooping ice cream. Not a great association!
