Why did they change the Wimbledon line judges uniforms?

Question

I think the older ones look better because their only line judges. They blend more in to the wall when they wear the green suit jacket. With there new shirt they stand out way more??

Answer 1

Corporate sponsorhsip.  The uniforms they wear now are Polo by Ralph Lauren, which is a main sponsor of the event.  Interesting that they don't have a British clothing company as a sponsor though.

Answer 2

because one judge split his trousers over by bending that is why they have changed their uniforms

Answer 3

i don't know, i liked the old ones

Answer 4

in Wimbledon, the uniforms never change, i dont know where u seen that, you TV might have color problem or your eyes

Answer 5

another way to waste money...

Answer 6

The players' outfits have changed over the years. Why can't the line judges do it also? But it would be atrocious if they wear really loud - colored uniforms. The ball girls in Madrid also wear outfits that grab the attention away from the players
