"You cannot be serious..."

Wimbledon must be awarded the prize for the most uncomfortable dress code for linesmen and umpires. I ask you button up shirt and ties and long sleeve blouses in this heat - are they mad? The court officials at the French and US Open look like they belong on a tennis court with their shorts and short sleeved tops. That is what you would expect to see on a tennis court right? Not at Wimbledon , they are clinging to the "extras from a P.G.Wodehouse novel" look and boy do they look uncomfortable.

Fair play to the design company though for pulling a fast one - nothing appeals more to the Wimbledon Committee obviously than living in the past.
