Hey guys, here's Roger Federer's outfit for Dubai, Indian Wells, and Miami 2017. I included this colourway in the Australian Open 2017 outfit post as I wasn't sure if it was a night session outfit but since he only wore the white version; this will be the ensemble for Dubai, Indian Wells, and Miami.
The Australian Open Henley of the same design seemed to be a bit of a marmite outfit with some loving it others hating it. Although when he won #18 with it on, it certainly grew on quite a few fans 🙂 I'm not a massive fan of this green (if the pictures represent it accurately) but it's not bad, probably not one I'd buy although I do like the Vapors just not the price 😉 .
Anyway, it should go down well at the Aviation Club as green is a Pan-Arab colour and hopefully he can have a good tournament. As per his interview in the failing New York Times he's not practised much since the final as the upper leg issue from Melbourne has lingered; not ideal preparation but we'll see what happens.
Let me know what you think of the outfit in the comments. Do you prefer this colour to the black and white version from Melbourne?
This outfit rings a bell :-p
Roger never does well wearing green! Unlucky color for him…
Absolutely Alex 😉
Go for another Title 😀
Hey been a while! And so much joy and Glory in the meantime. Planet Fed has been ecstatic “Obviously” as the master would say!
I also think the white version grew on a lot of us, victory after victory Jonathan!!! I’m to be included. So the green might also fit him well… Might look actually better on him than on a pic! Can’t say really which I prefer, white or green? 51% the white if I have to choose!
It looks good in the photoshopped pic Nike use on their website I think.

Not a fan. The hat seems to be a different shade of green as well. Hate that when they use different shades or the trim is orange and other colour is pink.
These dark shades don’t bode well in the desert of Dubai and IW or the jungles of Miami.
BUT I get to see this awful pattern in person. Fourteen more sleeps!
How bad is this upper leg issue?
Of course it can’t be that bad – he took those “cheating” MTOs on it, remember? 🙂 Seriously, though, I hope it’s not too bad, although I’m slightly worried that he doesn’t seem to have practised since – we don’t want Sue (or Murli) having to miss out again, do we?
Well, the outfit is less eye-boggling than the black and white, so that’s a good thing in my book. But I still don’t like henleys.
If it was bad he wouldn’t play Dubai I reckon so probably not a big problem. See what happens first match I guess…
Anyone able to get the 18 tribute shirt Nike released after he won? Sold out everywhere, wonder when they’ll ship out new stock.
I’ve got 2 as part of my comment leaderboard giveaway. Awaiting on them being delivered.
They are still in stock in USA and Europe in a few shops and some are awaiting stock.
Guess you need an Aussie retailer though?
Ah well. Nor too much expectations, upper leg sore…???
He should make pause then again to heal it out. I think.
I like the outfit. The green color may make it less dynamic though than the white. But we’ll see in game how it appears.
Well he hasn’t played for three weeks now, so must be on the way to recovery…
Fed can wear anything and he looks good hope the leg issue is not too serious though Have fun Sue
No.
Love him, the outfit not so much, but again, he look can make any outfit look good.
Not a fan… i just hope he wins another title 💪

Why do I get the feeling that when you say, “Although when he won #18 with it on, it certainly grew on quite a few fans”, you mean me?!?
Haha I didn’t initially actually but now I do 😀
I saw saw some pics of him wearing and he actually looks good.. 🙂 Go!go!go! #Fed
Photoshopped ones on Nike website?
Roger is smokin hot in this photo. Wears jeans like no other.
Yeah, dressed to kill!
‘A marmite outfit’ 😆 Loved the black and white one but the green is too dark for my liking. But hey anything on Fed shines.
You ever tried Marmite when you have been in the UK??
Of course, Jonathan. I’m in ‘loving it’ side, though I prefer Vegemite.
And you?
I don’t like bottle green. But I usually like the contents of bottle green bottles. Especially when they are deep red, but only until they are half empty. From there on, chromatic judgement and other types of judgement go downhill.
Where was I? Ah, yes, green shirts.
Nope, sorry, don’t like them. But if they come with a trophy, I don’t give a rat’s @$$.
Nike call this one Stadium Green 😉
Hope Roger will perform better at IW, don’t really care if he wears green or purple. Just try to go deep please
For me one of the ugliest ever out fits he has to wear! Looks more for boys than adults. Nike is of the path and ideas for the moment. But to be honest, all the competitors brands seem to have similar problems
Great outfit.
