💨 Abstract
Following the tragic death of Liverpool and Portugal forward Diogo Jota, Wimbledon has eased its strict all-white dress code to allow players to wear black armbands in tribute. Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva were killed in a car crash. Known for its stringent dress code since 1963, Wimbledon has retroactively allowed specific modifications like colored shorts for female players in 2023. Players like Francisco Cabral are expected to honor Jota by wearing armbands.
