The 1980 was one of the most influential years for Fila . The fashion made famous on the court by Bjorn Borg, was a phenomenon in the UK and around the world. Borg had plenty of success on the Wimbledon courts in the 1980s and he also worked with Fila to come up with fashion designs. One of the most famous designs was the Fila Vintage Matchday Jacket. Although today the re-makes do not bear the BJ logo alongside the Fila logo they are just as popular today as back then. The Fila jackets or any part of the collection were highly desirable items.
