Classic separates and ombre patterns have defined Iga Swiatek’s on-court looks ever since she teamed up with On in spring 2023, and her apparel for the 2026 US Open continues the trend, this time with a gradient that fades from black into deep purple and then white.

The promo image shows Swiatek in a sleeveless On tank and matching skirt, a silhouette that looks very similar to pretty much all of her previous On outfits. She will have both a night (dark) and day (light) version at the US Open.
The new On The Roger Pro 3 tennis shoe, updated with a Helion HyperFoam midsole for a plush feel underfoot, is also available in a matching colorway.
Judging by the reaction from tennis fans on social media, there is a growing appetite to see the brand take a more adventurous approach with Swiatek’s designs and introduce something genuinely fresh.
“Gradient strikes again… are they not allowed to try something different,” one X commenter wrote, adding a crying emoji.
“Lmao On really just change up the color or shade on the styled outfit then say NEW KIT y’all,” another wrote.
Others were similarly unimpressed, with comments including, “Stop trolling, she wore that same mess five years ago,” and, “lol looks pretty similar to all her other On outfits.”
