"Merci Rafa" T-shirts already on sale on Vinted
Retired since last November, Rafael Nadal came to Paris to attend a ceremony in his honor on the Philippe-Chatrier court. As the record holder for the most titles at Roland-Garros, the Spaniard has left a significant mark on generations who gathered in large numbers to pay him a final tribute.
For the occasion, the Roland-Garros organization distributed T-shirts with the inscription "Merci Rafa" to the spectators present. While this initiative delighted many fans of the Majorcan, some did not wait long to turn it into a commercial opportunity.
Indeed, on the online platform Vinted, which allows individuals to buy and sell clothes, accessories, and more, dozens of T-shirts can already be seen at significant prices, ranging from 100 to over 500 euros.
