Lacoste, the clothing sponsor of Novak Djokovic, has publicly apologized for a technical error in their online store and a celebration that tennis fans deemed premature.
In celebration of Novak Djokovic’s 25th Grand Slam title, a tracksuit emblazoned with the number “25” was accidentally released by a French luxury sportswear brand for early sale in the United States. Now, Lacoste does this all the time.
They recently produced a similar stuff to respect Djokovic’s record-breaking Huge homerun wins by a male player at the 2023 Roland Garros with a uniquely designed tracksuit of “23,” which the Serbian wore during the prize presentation.
Then, at the US Open, the brand disclosed a white tracksuit with the number “24” to observe Djokovic’s record-broadening 24th major in New York last season.
Although the organization has not forgotten about the quantity of Huge homeruns Djokovic won, it has previously been working in the background on delivering a new tracksuit to praise a 25th Huge homerun title win.
The 37-year-old has missed the mark concerning winning a fourth of hundred years of significant titles this year, losing to Jannik Heathen in the elimination round of the Australian Open and being compelled to empty the Roland Garros title after his withdrawal from the current year’s competition daily following his fourth-round prevail upon Francisco Cerundolo.
The timing of Lacoste’s release of Djokovic’s new gear was a complete blunder given Djokovic’s uncertain participation at Wimbledon.
The organization, which is famous for its green crocodile logo, uncovered the $350 clothing, which comprises of a wool sweatsuit and jeans, in its US online shop available to be purchased.
However, they quickly realized their error and removed it before the CEO, Thierry Guibert, issued an apology on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) due to a technical issue.
Djokovic will not compete in the 2024 Roland Garros tournament because of knee surgery.
He wants to play at Wimbledon, but he doesn’t have enough time, so he won’t be participating in the grass-court major for some time.
