Nike has been forced to recall its signature ladies dress for the Wimbledon championships over complaints from players that it was “too skimpy” and you could see their knickers when the wind blew. Let’s just hope Nike bring it back when Maria Sharapova’s ban expires.
Nike sent an email to its sponsored players, who will wear the dress at Wimbledon, telling them to bring their stock of the all-white outfits to Nike’s rented-out space at the All England Club so that they could be altered.
“We need to make a small change to your dresses per Wimbledon rules,” Nike’s email said. “This is VERY important.”
Even more importantly, it gave the British tabloids an excuse to show loads of pictures of Eugenie Bouchard in various positions of exertion.
