What are the rules on Wimbledon clothing logos?

Question

Early in this years Wimbledon tournament I was surprised to see a male player with a large 'Sun' newspaper logo on his sleeve facing the front.

I know players can have the clothing manufacturers logos as long as they are discreet but I thought all third party sponsorship logos were banned especially when they were large and red!!

No-one seemed to comment and they played as usual but I never saw another player with anything like it.

So what are the rules?

Answer 1

As long as the clothing is predominantly white then it's fine. Third party sponsorship logos have to be allowed; a lot of players get into trouble if they don't wear their third party sponsorship logos and could risk losing their contracts, especially as it's at a huge event such as Wimbledon.

Answer 2

Clothes of all players must be 80% white, that´s the rule.

They can have sponsors logos on their shirts.

For example: a few female players had a geico logo on their shirts. (like Alla Kudryavtseva)

Answer 3

You are right about the rules. However, the players won't be banned if they wore a larger than normal sized print. The company will ask him/her to wear it and they will promptly pay the fines on behalf of the players. This has been happening for years!

Answer 4

No real rules I think. You should just be wearing all white clothing.

Answer 5

to be honest i'm not really sure but i think once the short is white then its fine!!!!!!!
