Australian Open Day 1: Too Much Electricity Not Enough Rainbows

Don't touch me I might shock youFashion #fail:  Above was Fernando Verdasco's Adidas kit 'Electricity With High Energy'.  I usually love Adidas outfits, but I think they needed to turn the energy down just a smidge.

Best quote about his oufit:

He's a man who's not uncomfortable with his looks. Any man who's prepared to be an underwear model is not going to be afraid of this gear.

- Jim Courier via The Syndney Morning Herald

Best tweets about his outfit:

Fernando Verdasco's on-court attire begs the question, "Do you want fries with that?" twitpic.com/87vqdb #AustralianOpen
