Abstract

Sports has become one way to improve our own health and to enjoy life by changing the lifestyle of modern-day people. Sports athletes not only give pleasure to the public, but also play a role in elevating a nation's reputation through sports. Tennis is popular with the public, and women players receive tennis wear from various sports companies to promote the designs to the public. This study considers the design-related characteristics of women's tennis wear through content analysis of design elements from the tennis wear in four major tournaments over the most recent five years. This is important in order to provide basic data on design directions for tennis wear in the future. The results of this study are as follows. First, the silhouette plays a role in enhancing activity by considering the physical movement of tennis players who are very active. Second, color emphasizes the rules and clarity of traditional tennis tournaments, and reflects a diversified trend in tennis wear by considering smooth game play by players and combining popular colors in the year. Third, patterns and decorations on material are used as a means to emphasize the esthetics of tennis wear, and tape plays an auxiliary role in emphasizing the physical beauty of women or preventing physical movement causing injury. In addition, sponsor logos are generally located at the center of the chest of tennis wear tops by mixing letters and images. This can be interpreted as a part of the marketing strategy to enhance clarity of the sponsor's brand.

오늘날 스포츠는 현대인들의 라이프 스타일의 변화로 자신의 건강을 도모하고 즐거움을 느끼기 위한 하나의 수단으로 자리 잡게 되었다. 스포츠 선수들은 경기를 통하여 대중들에게 즐거움 전할 뿐 아니라 자국의 긍정적인 이미지와 가치를 전파하는 국위선양의 역할까지도 수행하고 있다. 테니스는 대중들에게 인기도가 높은 종목으로, 여성 테니스 선수들은 다양한 스포츠 기업의 테니스 웨어를 착용하고 전 세계의 대중들에게 디자인을 알리고 있다. 본 연구는 스포츠 웨어 및 테니스 웨어에 관련된 고찰과 함께 최근 5년간 4대 메이저 테니스 대회에 나타난 여성 테니스 선수들의 테니스 웨어를 토대로 의상 디자인 요소별 내용분석 연구를 실시하여 여성 테니스 웨어의 디자인에 관련된 특성을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 이는 향후 테니스 웨어의 디자인의 방향을 모색하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데에 의의가 있다. 본 연구의 결과, 첫째, 실루엣은 활동량이 높은 테니스 선수들의 신체적 움직임을 고려하여 활동성을 높이는 역할을 수행하는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 색상은 전통적인 테니스 대회의 규정 및 명시성을 강조하고 선수들의 원활한 경기 운영을 고려하거나 그 해 유행하는 색상의 접목을 통하여 테니스 웨어의 다변화된 경향을 반영한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 소재에서 문양이나 장식은 테니스 웨어의 심미성을 강조하기 위한 수단으로 활용되었으며, 테이프는 여성의 신체미의 강조, 또는 신체의 움직임이나 부상을 미연에 방지할 수 있는 보조적인 역할을 수행하였다. 또한, 스폰서 로고는 문자와 이미지를 혼용하여 테니스 웨어의 가슴 중앙에 위치시켰는데, 이는 스폰서 브랜드에 대한 명시성을 높이기 위한 마케팅 전략의 일환이라 해석할 수 있다.
