Uniqlo lets long-serving ambassador help design new pieces By Imogen Bailey | 28 January 2021 Uniqlo Australia is looking forward to the Australian Open when global ambassador Kei Nishikori will wear new game wear pieces on court. Developed by the Uniqlo design team at the Paris research and development centre, the new game wear will make its debut at the Australian Open. To support the launch, Uniqlo Australia will stock kids' replicas of Nishikori's shirt online in black and white styles.
