Keeping the "mainly white" rule for the Olympics would ruin Wimbledon itself, it's perfectly right to have a difference between The Championships and the Olympic tournament...

Oh, damn I voted "no" instead of "yes."
It's the Olympics, participants should have the option of wearing their nations' colours. If I were competing, I'd be decked head to toe in this shade of green:

Davis Cup hasn't been played there recently. They play up in Stirling in Scotland.

I can't imagine the IOC allowing an external private organization to dictate terms on how olympic events are conducted. They agreed to supply the venue, end of story.

This. Exactly. If Wimbledon DIDN'T relax the rules, the Olympics would not be held at Wimbledon and considering Wimbledon probably helped entice the Olympics (albeit minor considering tennis is inconsequential) the London committee probably urged Wimbledon as well.

Balanced out, I accidentally voted "yes" instead of no :lol: I say no, but purely for personal/sentimental reasons, it's gonna be weird seeing people on the Wimbledon lawns in basically every color of the rainbow :shrug: Maybe because that was my first ever tournament, and I would personally dread the day they ever get rid of that rule. But yeah it's true, two different tournaments.

Even home players from United Kingdom will not comply at Olympics Wimbledon this rule :shrug:
Outfit for Andy Murray in singles and Murray brothers in doubles at OG Wimbledon are already announced. Only socks are white there :shrug:

Yes and I think the "mainly white" rule is stupid in the 1st place. I'm not a fan of all those foolish and antiquated traditions at Wimbledon. I like that we have a slam played on grass. All the other BS we can do without.

I thought it was already decided long ago that the rule would be relaxed for the Olympics? I can't find the link, but I clearly remember reading something to that effect.
