The stupidity of Wimbledon's strict dress code moved from bras to headbands today

And it was their own official merchandise they were upset about.

AFTER EUGENIE BOUCHARD fell foul of Wimbledon’s strict ‘mostly white’ dress code earlier this week for daring to wear a black bra, it was Nick Kyrgios’ turn to draw the ire of the authorities today.

However, it wasn’t the Australian’s pointless single sleeve that caused panic in SW19.

Instead, it was his decision to wear the official Wimbledon 2015 headband, the one you can buy on the tournament’s website for just €8.

And yes, you read that correctly, Wimbledon chiefs were angered by a player wearing official Wimbledon gear because it was too brightly coloured and made him turn it inside out.

Here is Kyrgios early in the match:

Here’s why the players at Wimbledon have to wear all white

Bra strap lands Eugenie Bouchard with dress code violation … and she’s then beaten at Wimbledon
