Apparently, Andy is the only star Fred Perry have on their books, and Nike are waiting to pounce...   Think

I would think it's a definite on the Fred Perry pyjamas.He was apparently watching the doubles inside then in the last set came out.I would think it was Andy being excited like the rest of the Tennis fans at the fact Jamie&Jelena were winning a Wimbeldon trophy.He probably forgot. as soon as the camera spied Andy,they had him on TV wrong Hoodie,next thing the Hoodie's off and he has a T shirt with a Fred Perry logo the size of a bicycle wheel.Also think it must be a slow news day for the Herald,probably to soon to talk about Colin Montgomoirie at Loch Lomond.

I'm glad that someone else noticed that he took it off.  I obviously didn't notice the logo the size of a bicycle wheel though lol

Good job Posh & Becks off to America today as that'll fill all the newspapers now Whistle

Seemed that big or maybe it's my specs.I thought oh,oh,Andy's just caught on he's on camera,and maybe in trouble.I don't think he thinks.Also photo of jamie and him in the free paper The metro.The green hoodie's on but Andy has his hand over the Lecoste logo.Sort of like President Bush when the US national anthem is being played.Hand on heart.If I wasn't fooled I don't suppose Fred Perry marketing is fooled.Need to watch next time Andy's playing to see whose gear he's wearing hope that's soon.I'm having tennis watching withdrawal after 2 weeks of Wimby.

Even if it's stupid, a contract is legally binding, and Andy should adhere to that, regardless of how silly the situation seems. I think that is the real issue rather than the idea of 'betrayal'. 'Betrayal' implies intent and is emotive, but breach of contract is a more practical concern, particularly as Andy was pictured in the gear of a major rival to FP.

Jamie, on the other hand, sponsored by Adidas, conducts his biggest day of press interviews ever wearing an Abercrombie zippy and no-one even notices! Must have a different contract.

I would imagine that as A&F is not primarily a sports brand, then it wouldn't cause so much trouble.

I think this is a stupid article. We don't know what contract Andy has with FP - maybe it only covers cloths he wears when HE's playing. I mean they don't make every type of clothing, he will have to wear something different from time to time.

Plus, I think, JP got more promotion out of him NOT wearing their t-shirt than him wearing it, so why would they complain!?

I think the world has gone seriously wrong if we expect people to 'honour' brands as opposed to people and countries...

If I was an enterprising FP marketing guy I'd be considering a customised Andy Murray line - selection of hoodies, pyjamas, etc. - to supplement the more conventional range.  There wouldn't be a problem then.

That's just taking it a little too far... maybe when he's won a Grand Slam they will consider that.

What loser would wear Murray branded pygjamas? Actually, no one answer that! lol
