Gucci has recently released its Wimbledon-themed tennis t-shirt. The shirt features a white design with prominent Gucci branding on the chest of the shirt. Above the embroidery is two old school tennis rackets that are green and red, with a net in between the rackets. On top that the interlocking 'G' branding. The Gucci tennis t-shirt is created with mid-weight cotton.
The design was inspired by an archived item, which was done for a country club during 1987. The shirts are available and have a price point of $524.
Gucci has made the shirts available in time for customers to wear them during the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Gucci attaching its name to the tournament makes sense for the brand since tennis is often viewed as a luxury sport.
