The Sergio Tacchini Wilander Track Top Famously Featured in Nick Love's The Firm From 2009
Worn by top boys & endorsed by Swedish tennis sensations, the Sergio Tacchini Wilander track top now arrives back at 80s Casual Classics.
"There's over 4000 German's booked in for Europe this summer & unless our 3 firms go together, they're gunna run us all over." The words of an over-confident Bex played by Paul Anderson as he tries to unite the firms for the Euros in a pivotal scene from Nick Love's The Firm from 2009 which puts another bit of classic 80s sportswear into the spotlight. Sporting the legendary Wilander track top from Sergio Tacchini, just like the majority of the cult classic, the scene is all about the classic 80s sportswear with the Wilander taking centre stage. Following various re-releases of the celebrated tennis silhouette, the Wilander track top is now treated to another exclusive release courtesy of 80s Casual Classics.

As sportswear designs started to become even more style driven moving into the mid 80s, it was OG designs like the Wilander that were a testament to Sergio Tacchini's new direction of sportswear design. A new generation of tennis talent like Mats Wilander & Pete Sampras catapulted Tacchini into the late 1980s & early 90s with some of the most vibrant designs the tennis world had ever seen. Worn by Wilander at the French Open final in 1985 against Ivan Lendl who sported his signature Argyle polo shirt, the famous stripes of the Wilander were also brought back to life in 2009 thanks to 80s Casual Classics & Nick Love with the re-make of The Firm.

Featuring the famous stripe detailing to the shoulders & sleeves in black & red with a funnel neck collar, the Wilander track top takes us straight back to Tacchini's centre court dominance of the 1980s. Other highlights include the original mid 80s colour-blocking design to the sleeves & shoulders with side slip pockets & embroidered ST branding to the left chest. Now available exclusively at 80s Casual Classics in this latest white/navy colourway. Shop the very latest arrivals from Sergio Tacchini now at 80s Casual Classics via the links.
