Okay, so I started watching more tennis lately, and this guy, Andrey Rublev, kinda caught my eye. Not just ’cause of how hard he hits the ball, you know, the grunting and all that. It was his clothes, really.
I remember seeing him play, maybe it was the Aussie Open or something, and his kit was just… loud. Like, really bright colors, weird patterns sometimes. It wasn’t the usual clean-cut stuff you see on loads of other players. Stood out.
Getting Curious
So, I got a bit curious. Like, who picks this stuff out? Does he have a say? I started paying more attention whenever he was on TV. Sometimes the outfits were pretty cool, sometimes I was like, “Hmm, not sure about that one.” But it was always different.
I did a bit of digging online, just searching around. Found out he was with Head for his clothes for a bit, which seemed normal enough. Then there was this Bvlgari thing? Seemed kinda fancy and odd for on-court gear, but okay. It wasn’t your typical Nike or Adidas deal, that’s for sure. Made me think he actually cared about looking… well, different.
Watching the Style
Then I noticed a shift. Suddenly, the logos changed. It wasn’t Head or Bvlgari anymore. Looked closer during a match, saw this new logo. Did some more searching – turns out he started his own brand! Called ‘Rublo’.
That kinda changed things for me. It wasn’t just some sponsor handing him clothes; he was designing or at least approving his own stuff. I started looking at the Rublo gear specifically.
- Boldness: Still lots of strong colors, sometimes clashing, sometimes just really bright.
- Graphics: Some interesting graphics popped up. Not always my cup of tea, but definitely unique.
- Consistency? Not really. One tournament it’s wild, the next might be simpler. Keeps you guessing.
My Takeaway
Watching this whole thing unfold, from noticing the flashy kits to him launching his own brand, was kinda interesting. It wasn’t some big project for me, just something I kept track of when watching tennis.
It made me think about how most sportswear is kinda uniform. Rublev, whether you like his specific outfits or not, definitely brings his own personality onto the court through his clothes. He’s not afraid to wear something that gets people talking. It’s not the super polished, focus-group tested look. It feels more… him. Raw, maybe? Like his playing style sometimes.
So yeah, that was my little dive into the fashion of Andrey Rublev. Just watching, noticing, and seeing how a player expresses himself beyond just hitting forehands. It’s just clothes, but it adds another layer to watching the game, you know?
