When Andy Murray trots out onto the court for the 2015 Australian Open, he will be outfitted by a new clothing sponsor and will have a new personal logo.


Andy Murray, a three-time Australian Open finalist, earned the sixth seed in this year’s tournament. The 2015 Australian Open — which is held at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia — will take place from Jan. 19 to Feb. 1. It will be the first Grand Slam event of 2015.

At that tournament, Andy Murray will have a new look.

Not only will Murray be outfitted by a new clothing sponsor, Under Armour, but he will have a personal logo which was unveiled on Thursday.

The logo was designed with Murray’s initials and the number 77 in mind.

Why the No. 77?

Back in 2013, Murray became the first British man in 77 years to win the Wimbledon singles title. It is also the name of his management company which was created after he won his second Grand Slam tournament.

“We wanted to create a modern mark that captures Andy’s energy and spirit whilst subtly referencing his affinity with the number 77. It’s simple and striking, with heraldic cues that echo his dominance on the court,” Dan Calderwood, design director at Aesop, said, via The Guardian.

The 2015 Australian Open draw will take place on Friday.
