Federer Ditches Nike for $300m Uniqlo Deal

Roger Federer is done with sports wear brand NIKE.
With his Nike contract complete, the Swiss tennis superstar has reportedly inked a new apparel deal with Uniqlo that's worth over $300 million, sources told ESPN's Darren Rovell.
Federer was sporting Uniqlo gear ahead of his opening match at Wimbledon on Monday, though Rovell reports that he was still wearing his Nike shoes.

Federer's Nike deal is done but have been told by industry source that the RF logo will revert to Federer at some stage in the next few years. Am told they do not own the rights to it in perpetuity so it may well rise again

Prior to inking the new deal, Federer had been with Nike for nearly 25 years. Nike was apparently offered a chance to match the Uniqlo offer but declined.

The 36-year-old opened his quest for a ninth Wimbledon championship with a straight-set victory over Dusan Lajovic on Monday.
