Nike Novak Djokovic Ad?

Today Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open and celebrated by tearing his shirt off. Well, if I were an advertising creative for Nike (or any of a number of other tennis shirt brands), I might just use a picture of Novak ripping his shirt off today, and add the headline: "Novak, if you want a more comfortable tennis shirt, try Nike!"

Here's the sporting shirt story:

And here's one with a video of the tennis titan's top-tearing title triumph:

Novac Djokovic endorses and wears Uniqlo, a Japanese clothing brand. And I'm not trying to cast aspersions on their clothes, by the way; I'm simply having fun with the possibilities of using this picture of Djokovic for a silly Nike ad.

Here's an article about the band Novak wears, Uniqlo:

(Hmm, Uniqlo: It sounds kind of like "eunuch low".)
