No they don't. They haven't had to dress strictly in white for a long time, now. Remember when Andre Agassi first showed up at Wimbledon? He had a reputation for wild outfits, and there was much specualtion as to just how far he would push the dress code. Instead, he came out wearing tennis whites (except for one small black logo). That wouldn't have been quite so brilliant a move if everybody (or even anybody) else was wearing an all-white strip. As it was, Andre stood out amongst the sea of coloured sleeves, big stripes of colour, etc.
