    this is something that you don't see everyday.

    there is a vintage Yonex dress on ebay. i am not sure if it is a tennis or badminton, but my guess is tennis as badminton fashion didn't really include dresses back then (or did it?)

    what makes the dress interesting is that it is really vintage. it has the old old Yonex logo, this is very first Yonex logo, pre-early 80s, similar to the Yoneyama logo with the YY text. must be from the early 80s or even 70s.

    another pic of the same shirt. looks like back then, Yonex is already using the blue/green tags for their clothings.

    well, it looks like it's in very very good condition.
    Or it could be new......

    whoa, could it be ........ Maybe Yonex made some old-fashion design clothes?
    (Like Abercrombie often uses the old design clothes)

    E-bay always has some interesting Yonex clothings.

    I have found the Canada Team Tee in old logo....

    I have bought a old old logo of Bee (Yellow and Blue) T-shirt, it is quite fashionable today.

    I have found the tennis tee of Yonex with Beautiful Cartoons..............

    Other than E-bay, Yahoo Japan is another place to see interesting YY stuff.

    Cheung,

    It's ok to have a laugh sometimes mate dont worry about it! How come they had the YY? I've never seen that design so like Kwun said, one of the first designs! Must be worth a bit!

    I think Camilla has worn dresses in the past. Check out her matches from the mid-late 90's. Not completely sure.

    That YY dress must be pre1980. I only know from photos!!
