Polo Ralph Lauren unveils Wimbledon uniforms

Although they are one of America’s most iconic brands, Polo Ralph Lauren’s
uniforms for the British tradition known as the Wimbledon tennis
championship have become an honored tradition.

It’s taken 11 years, but the label has updated their designs for
Wimbledon’s on-court officials including chair umpires, line umpires, and
ball boys and girls. The uniforms will officially make their debut next
month when the tournaments begin at The All England Lawn Tennis Club in
Wimbledon, London.

The ball boy and girl uniforms have been updated to include a performance
pique knit shirt with stretch and moisture-wicking properties. Girls will
wear a navy short and boys will have navy shorts. The uniforms also have
accents of green and purple, which is a new addition.

The women’s umpire outfit will feature a pinstriped navy blazer, wide leg
trouser and a bias cut skirt with a mother of pearl button. The men’s sport
coat has a navy pinstripe with three buttons, a notch collar, and patch
pockets. The dress shirt worn by both the male and female umpires is made
from a fine yarn with a soft hand. The umpires’ trousers are white, and
both male and female umpires will wear white tennis sweaters with purple
and green stripes around the v-neck.

The Polo Ralph Lauren Wimbledon Collection will be sold at select Ralph
Lauren stores, online, and through wholesale partners. Merchandise will
also be sold during the tournament, which runs from June 27 to July 10, at
the Wimbledon shop and online.

“Ralph Lauren Corporation is honored to continue its part in the rich
sporting tradition and history of tennis at Wimbledon on its 130th
anniversary,” said Ralph Lauren in a statement.

Wimbledon is attended by an average of 490,000 visitors with global news
access of over 1 billion viewers across 200 territories. The digital
audience boats nearly 50 million unique visitors across Wimbledon Web
sites, social channels, social channels, and apps.
