Are You Sure?

Looking for that little extra advantage the next time you play an opponent that is known for their "questionable" line calls? Here's your answer:  a spunky new tee with the "Are You Sure?" logo in big, bold colors on the front chest. Now, every time your opponent looks across the net, they will be reminded that questionable line calls are NOT part of your game.

This new apparel line is the brainchild of Christelle Williams. Like many tennis moms, Williams has spent countless hours chaperoning her daughters to junior tournaments. One day it struck her that “are you sure?” was echoed around the courts during matches.  She realized that it was one of the most commonly used phrases in tennis as a semi-polite way of responding to a questionable line call. Looking to put a humorous angle on the situation, Williams launched the sportswear line last Fall.

The tees are made of durable, high-quality, pre-shrunk 100% cotton and are available for men, women and children in a variety of styles and colors. Custom orders and logos are for teams or clubs. 

For fashion-minded tennis lovers who want to make a statement, these colorful tees do the job.
