The Essential Vintage Tennis Fashion Guide, 2024 US Open Edition

Tennis fashion has been all the rage these past few years.  Major brands like LuluLemon, Alo and Wilson have gone all-in on tennis inspired apparel and accessories lines. 

Vintage tennis fashion has also made a bigtime resurgence. Whether it's the classic knit sweaters with the green striped ribbing, or the beefy oversized graphic tees and sweatshirts, it's "love-all" for the vintage tennis look.

For this blog, we collabed with our friends at Vintage Court Collection and curated a top ten list of super rad vintage pieces.  If you are heading to the US Open this year, or maybe putting on a vintage tennis themed watch party with your friends, this blog is for you!

#1:)  1998 "Art by McEnroe Heineken T-Shirt (Rare!)

We've always known Johnny Mac was a rock star and one of our favorite people on the planet.  We didn't know he was an artist.  This tee just rocks! 

#2) 1989 McEnroe/Agassi Maple Leaf Gardens T-Shirt

Wow wow this tee is a rare gem.  Two American legends facing off at the 3rd  annual "Proctor Silex Tennis Classic in Toronto.  

#3)  1987 UCLA Tennis Camp T-Shirt

One of our absolute favorite brands of the 80's and 90's is Chip & Pepper, and it's so great to see their resurgence. This tee has that super soft, worn in feel that only a true vintage tee gives off.   

#4) Vintage 1995 Fila US Open tee 

We love this oversized tee.  1995 was also an epic year for American tennis, where Pete Sampras beat Andre Agassi in 4 sets. 


#5) Vintage Nike Challenge Sweatshirt

It may start to get a little chilly by the second week at The Open.  You may want to consider bringing this killer sweatshirt! 

 #6) Expert Tennis Patched Hat 

Protect yo! heads with this upcycled vintage patch on our classic trucker hat.  This vintage patch will make you the expert tennis player you've always wanted to be!  

#7) Official Bjorn Borg Fila Sweatpants 

Move like Borg in these iconic sweatpants.  The legendary Swede is still as handsome as ever.  

 

 #8) 1993 Minnesota State Boys Championship Tee 

This 90's retro graphic just crushes it, on and off the courts.  

 

#9) 1990's Vintage Fila Jacket 

This classic women's jacket is perfect for those cooler nights out on the courts or the roller derby.  We love this so friggin' much. 

 #10) Duke Children's Tennis Dad Hat 

This classic hat is also for a good cause!
