In a recent interview, Nick Kyrgios talked about his on-court tennis gear in the past. Nick also mentioned that if he gets the opportunity, he will wear his own gear. 

Nick said, “I used to wear a lot of headbands… but I kind of can’t play with anything on my head these days… but I think, if I had my way on court I would wear some pretty cool stuff.

“Tennis needs new fans… they’ve had the same fans for decades now…. They need fans to turn on the TV that have never watched tennis before and be like ‘wow,’ look what that guy is wearing or look at how he’s playing the game. I think that’s what it needs.” Kyrgios further added

“If I played Federer again, I would love to choose my own wardrobe. When people watching on TV, like Federer, you already know that he’s clean cut, he’s very classy and then you’d have me on the other side of the net… I’d be wearing things that are a little bit more different,” Nick said about playing Federer.
