Logos formed by variations of material or patterns are not acceptable, although small sponsor logos may contain some color. The rules include the definition that white “does not include off-white or cream” and note that the back of the apparel must be “completely white.” While “there should be no solid mass or panel of coloring,” Wimbledon does allow a single trim of color around the neckline and the cuff of the sleeves, no wider than one centimeter. The apparel rule comes with 10 different points, really, and “refers to all clothing, including tracksuits and sweaters, worn on The Championship courts both for practice and for matches.” In 2014, it included accessories in the rule listing for the first time.

Wimbledon went “predominately in white” with its dress code in 1963, and while players and brands have attempted to skirt the dress code rules-akin to a high schooler defying the principal-Wimbledon has only entrenched itself in the rule. The focus on white clothing has been part of tennis for as long as the sport has existed. The rule now says that any undergarments visible during play "must be completely white, except for a single trim of color no wider than one centimeter, except female players who are allowed to wear solid, mid/dark-colored undershorts provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt." The actual change comes to rule nine of the 10-point Wimbledon dress code. Still, though, Jabeur says making a change to improve player comfort on the court is a positive step and players can choose to wear colored undershorts for whatever reason they want.

WHEN Wati Holmwood wobbled his naked way across ANZ Stadium in the dying minutes of the State of Origin decider, he was continuing a tradition that had its origins in the 18th century but only, er, took off in the 1970s.
