From the dress code to the concessions, just about every element of the famed tournament is steeped in more than a century of history. Here are some of the most notable traditions to keep an eye out for as the tournament starts this week: All-white uniforms One of the most distinctive hallmarks of Wimbledon is its player dress code. Once competitors step on the court, only one color is allowed: white (at least for external clothing, per the tournament's official guidelines). The rules don't bend for anyone. Roger Federer debuted a new pair of shoes featuring orange soles in the opening round of the 2013 tournament. The debut would be the shoes' only moments on the famed grass courts. Wimbledon asked Federer after the match to not sport the footwear in the competition again. Royal treatment A cornerstone event on the British sporting calendar, for all the star power on the court, Wimbledon's most famous attendees are in the stands: the royal family of the United Kingdom. The earliest royal attendance at Wimbledon dates back to the early 20th century when King George V began the tradition of royals presenting the competition's trophy to winners. Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has become a recent staple of the tournament and is eyeing a return this year amid cancer treatments. A mascot like no other One of the most important factors in the Wimbledon courts' upkeep? A hawk named Rufus. In addition to boasting a Twitter account with more than 10,000 followers, Rufus plays a pivotal role in keeping the skies clear during the tournament. At one point carrying his own security pass with the official title "bird scarer," Rufus' role includes frightening away pigeons and other unwanted animals. This year will be his 16th year guarding the course. Famous concessions Even the food and drink at Wimbledon come with a certain level of fame. The most iconic? Strawberries and cream. The dish has become synonymous with the competition over the years, with the tradition dating back to its earliest editions -- in the past, the early summer months the tournament took place in was the only time of year locals could enjoy the fruit. Strawberries aren't the only notable concession though -- the Pimm's cup has also grown in fame over the years. The most famous queue in sports? It's difficult to see waiting in line as particularly iconic, but at a tournament filled with tradition it's only right that ticket access follows suit. It's very much possible to get a ticket to Wimbledon without paying an exorbitant amount -- you'll just need to be prepared to wait for quite a while. Wimbledon allocates day-of tickets for each court to become available every morning at 9:30. Gaining access to those queue-exclusive tickets is the harder part -- the particularly committed will often bring a tent and camp out to ensure their spot at the front of the line. ?media Id=100057484147832 22 IMG 8174 2 Flowershop New 2 86b62706 156e 41bf B906 8a3aac2a2ff1 X?w=600&h=534 Flower Shop ?media Id=100075689929410 A3065701004 8802996 Fbs Istock 1393876414 63ce8bcc80b6b 645bfcf1e9f13 1aaa75ebf98b62cb3191e4aa0c6463da1d7206f8 20220510 X?w=600&h=500 L 0f8115a7 9c3b 4c57 87bf Adc4e40858a8 X?w=600&h=315 951d4dff3c22e9fcc4a2707009f45ea8 790 8802996 54564876b B 03 500 0f8115a7 9c3b 4c57 87bf Adc4e40858a8 X?w=200&h=200&option=3 O Banner3128 L Buket Cvetov Eva 270x300 Rosette Product 1 63cc48d8dfdf7 645bfb4a3c8b8 FF166xg 91333lz 51540f31411b4b496d937c60a9c53661 ?compress=1&resize=1000x750&vertical=top 1678320397 File 7ed12c6fcc 504567 Logo ?media Id=100057420670456 B0ec7c0989c1ef3993064b3a7794155b 20200106075047 File 5e138f97b9d49 AF1QipMt7pAMWNxrSkN8y4rtITyDT5DY7ZNpn0NRUgQ W408 H306 K No Abouquets 12 500x650 17086prvz ?123856&value=214 300s
