Wimbledon champ Serena Williams plays her first (and only) home match for the Washington Kastles tonight. And, as she is wont to do, she’ll be making a fashion statement when she takes the court.
Kastles owner Mark Ein asked Nike to create a special uniform for Williams. Nike came back with an adaptation of the outfit she wore when she won the Wimbledon doubles title with her sister, Venus. Rather than white, this one will be a mix of blue and red, with shorter sleeves than the three-quarter top she wore in England.
“We always want to make sure Serena looks fabulous,” said Nike’s Suzanne Pond, who added that Serena will wear the outfit until the U.S. Open begins later this summer. It also will be a part of her fall line in stores. You can say you saw it here first.
