They've been allowed discreet advertising on their outfits for quite some time

[brionon]

White only is Racist innit ?

[Gromit]

You think they should have white hair as well?

It is a shame that such a fantastic tournament is spoiled by the stuffy little Hitlers that run it.

[RATTER15]

What total nonsense!! how does any of that effect the game of tennis, there are some seriously sad people in this world!! ITS JUST A GAME!!

[Baldric]

Player with long hair and wearing white, don't see a problem.

[retrocop]

Yes it is only a game but it comes with codes of etiquette and tradition.Heaven knows we are rapidly losing our National Identity and traditions to Brussels so lets try and keep some even if it is only a game. :-)

they should all play in powdered wigs. The higher the seeding the higher the wig.

I think AOG is referring to the red emblem on the vest, not the hair, in the first photo

[Mamyalynne]

As Fitzer says at post #1 - some advertising is allowed.

[murraymints]

Rules are rules, however silly they seem but I think it is better that they wear all white

Wearing a black bra does not go against our national identity. Rules that are pointless deserve all the ridicule that they get. Black bras have nothing to do with the EU and wearing one is not being unBritish.

I disagree that Wimbledon is run by "Little Hitlers". The club has standards, expects them to be maintained and would rather people who are not prepared to assist in that aim stayed away.

It is pointlessly bucking the trend.I know a bra has nothing to do with the EU but I also know that bra's come in white so why court controversy?

[Gromit]

New Judge,

Reprimanding a player for the slight revealing of a bra strap that was not white is extremely silly.
This is a sporting tournament not a Victorian enactment.

[retrocop]

They get enough prize money for their efforts so surely abiding by the rules is not too much to ask!!!

[brionon]

O em bloody Gee-another way of blaming the EU ! will it never end ?

I'm waiting patiently until this is linked to terrorism and/or Islam in some way or form.
